Call me by your name

1 India Amarteifio

Several women named India have had film and TV careers. This British actor, at 21, has an impressive resume. She plays Lizze on Sex Education, and has also appeared in Line of Duty and Doctor Who. She's also performed in West End musicals. Why does she look so familiar? She played young Queen Charlotte in Netflix's Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.

2 India Arie 

The American singer-songwriter has seven Grammy noms, and won Best Urban/Alternative Performance in 2002 for her album Little Things, as well as Best R&B Album for Voyage To India. She's fierce. Last year she threatened to remove her music from Spotify as a protest against the platform hosting Joe Rogan's controversial podcast.

3 India Dupre 

The British-born model and director spent her childhood in Australia. Her 2016 short film, Stripped, follows her single mother's move to Australia in 1977, where a fraud job offer forced her to be separated from her three children and strip for a living. The film has won prizes at the Edmonton and LA's Playhouse West film festivals.
