'Minorities are often there to tick boxes", Says Charithra Chandran

'It makes you doubt everything. If I'm being really honest and vulnerable, in my head I'm like, 'Oh God, if people don't like me in this or if I've done a bad job, I've ruined it for my entire community.

'When you are a minority you invariably feel the weight of representing your entire community.'
