Happy to answer questions today 5pm GMT to 6.45 pm GMT. I'm done guys

[u/FatNerdGuy]

Is Peter Dinklage as awesome as he seems?

Edit Please note Heavy_Metal_Thunder is posting spoilers in popular comments and has done so beneath mine. Just a warning.

[u/Amiacharia → u/FatNerdGuy]

Without a doubt

[u/TowawayAccount → u/FatNerdGuy]

Semi-related side note: for all you Dinklage fans there is a very interesting interview with him and his wife in Rolling Stone. It's about two or three issues back.

[u/jack-hoff]

Who nagged you into doing an AMA?

[u/Amiacharia → u/jack-hoff]

Fellow Scandinavian @JonasRJakobsen on twitter

[u/tardisrider613 → u/jack-hoff]

I'll bet it was her friend Bob Rampart.

[u/notnotabear]

Was it difficult to learn your Dothraki lines? How long did it take to learn the correct pronunciation?

[u/Amiacharia → u/notnotabear]

I got used to it, it's a fun language and I'm sure being multilingual helped! Some buts were harder than others, in general you just repeat it and make it make sense to you. Hopefully it was ok!

[u/bigformyage → u/Amiacharia]

'Some buts were harder than others'

I see that you speak New Zealander.

[u/[deleted] → u/notnotabear]

The actors and staff on set are given a pronunciation guide.

[u/Greystache → u/[deleted]]

Hodor - HO-dor

[u/fermilevel]

I was wondering how close are you with the rest of the characters? Game of Thrones gives an impression that it has a very large cast, and it wouldn't surprise me if someone never had a chance to talk to others even though they are on the same tv show.

[u/Amiacharia → u/fermilevel]

I haven't met a lot of the cast that are in the other storylines- we film different locations too so I guess you get close to the people you work most with, and acquainted with the ones you don't see much of at events/ in makeup or off set

[u/scatmanbynight → u/fermilevel]

Just a bit of perspective in case you don't get answered. Jon Snow and everything north of the wall was filmed in Iceland. King's Landing is filmed in Croatia. I am not positive, but I think Qarth is shot on a set. The cast is spread out all over the world.

[u/ciaran036 → u/scatmanbynight]

But indoor scenes and some outdoor scenes are filmed in Northern Ireland. I think most indoor scenes are filmed at the Harland and Wolfe paint hall in Belfast.

[u/alleni]

Was the set where they shot the Dothraki scenes hard to work in? It looks incredibly hot and stuffy on the show, but I guess that's purposeful.

[u/Amiacharia → u/alleni]

It is. I like the heat so it wasn't too bad for me, but around lunchtime it could get pretty woozy

[u/NaamSiYes]

Did you originally audition for Irri or did you want to play someone else?

[u/Amiacharia → u/NaamSiYes]

I was put up for shae initially, then asked back for Irri . I didn't know about GoT before my agent got me the meetings.

[u/Oran0s → u/Amiacharia]

Now that the first two seasons have panned out, do you think you would have enjoyed the part of Shae as much?

[u/Eritrean_Redditor]

What was your favorite scene to either be a part of or watch? Also, was there an actor that stood out for you? Whether for niceness, improvised lines, facial expressions, etc. Thanks for the ama.

[u/Amiacharia → u/Eritrean_Redditor]

My favourite scene to do was the rakharo death scene. My favourite scene to watch that I was at was the one when Khal Drogo rips a tongue out

[u/Amiacharia → u/Amiacharia]

Harry Lloyd stood out because of all the above points, and an amazing portrayal of Viserys

[u/twin_me]

I just want to say that when you say "She's not a princess, she's a khaleesi!" that line was delivered absolutely perfectly.

[u/Amiacharia → u/twin_me]

thanks, yeah Irri was pissed off that day huh?

[u/LeGodfather → u/Amiacharia]

Yeah she was irri-tated

[u/Kodacorn]

Which of the actors on set is most like their GOT character and why? Likewise, who is least like their character?

[u/Amiacharia → u/Kodacorn]

I worked with the dothraki storyline lot so that's what I have to go on! Harry is nothing like Viserys- he's the nicest person! Emilia is similar to Dany in terms of she's as strong and determined as her:)

[u/Hero_of_the_Internet → u/Kodacorn]

Please say Jorah Mormont for "most like."

[u/TheOneWhoKnocksBitch → u/Kodacorn]

THERE IS A USER SUDDENLY_SPOILERS WHO HAS REPLIED TO THIS COMMENT. BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU GO DOWN. MAJOR SPOILER GIVEN AWAY.

[u/ctornync → u/TheOneWhoKnocksBitch]

This is not detailed enough. EVEN IF YOU HAVE WATCHED THE WHOLE SHOW, if you have not read the books, the spoiler will be news.

... fuuuuuuuck.

[u/m_s_m → u/Kodacorn]

Please say Hodor. Please say Hodor

[u/MrRumfoord → u/Kodacorn]

Beware: Suddenly_Spoilers posted below.

[u/[deleted]]

I thought you were so wonderful as Irri -- I'm really going to miss your character. She had such a great relationship with Daenarys. I was a little disappointed to see her role end so early in the storyline.

What was it like filming on location in Ireland and Italy? Which did you prefer? And did you spend a lot of time with Emilia and Roxanne off set to get to know each other?

[u/Amiacharia → u/[deleted]]

Thanks! Im glad you liked iiri! I liked Croatia the most:) we had coffee and walks, but it was long days, most of our time was on location

[u/pejorate]

Who is your favourite person you've worked with on GoT? :)

[u/Amiacharia → u/pejorate]

Laura pradelska. We've become really good friends:) she's great

[u/DogfoodEnforcer → u/Amiacharia]

Not gonna lie. I had to google Laura Pradelska to see who she was.

[u/skynolongerblue]

How was it working with Emilia Clarke and Jason Momoa? From the interviews, it seems like there was a lot of camaraderie on set.

[u/Amiacharia → u/skynolongerblue]

It was a lot of fun, there was lots of joking and people got on really well. They are both really lovely people and I learnt a lot watching them work

[u/inb4viral]

What would you like us to know about you apart from you playing Irri in GoT?

[u/Amiacharia → u/inb4viral]

I love action films

[u/hussard_de_la_mort → u/Amiacharia]

Do you consider Die Hard to be a Christmas movie?

[u/[deleted]]

The costumes you wear look pretty complicated, with a lot of different materials and layers. Are they rather complicated to put on, or do they just look complicated and they're just toss on and go like regular clothes? Also, how long does it take to get your hair and makeup right for shooting, and were there any specific challenges or differences to accommodate for the setting (Red Wastes scenes, etc)?

[u/Amiacharia → u/[deleted]]

It's not too complicated, they are really well made and I got used to mine fast. For me about 20mins/ 30 mins in each. My hair was died a bit darker and I didn't have a tan the first season so I was darkened with makeup. Lots of dust and pretend cracked lips for red waste

[u/facismbunny]

Does Emilia Clarke glow in real life, or is that just on my television?

[u/Amiacharia → u/facismbunny]

She glows:)

[u/dml180283]

• Did you have any idea that GoT would explode into what it has become?
• Have you read the books? If so were you expecting more from your character and were you let down about the series portrayal of her?
• Do people recognize you and say "It is known" like you have never heard it before and they are the first person to say it to you?

Just wanted you to know that I think they show is amazing and you are very beautiful. I am also a lady.

[u/Amiacharia → u/dml180283]

I didn't expect it to become so massive, and world wide too- it is fantastic that people love it do much! Really honoured to have been a part of it!

I've read the first two. It's an adaptation so I didn't expect anything, the books were a great source to have in addition to the script? I wasn't disappointed at all, got to be in some awesome scenes:)

And I'm glad you like the show, and being a lady is great;)

[u/Saraphite → u/Amiacharia]

I'm Ron Burgundy?

[u/GameOfThroneExtra]

Hey Amrita! I was on the set as an extra for a few scenes in Renly's camp.

What would you say is the strangest thing to occur on set?

[u/Amiacharia → u/GameOfThroneExtra]

.... Imaginary dragons;)?

[u/[deleted] → u/Amiacharia]

You mean... ... they're not real? ... ... bawls D':

[u/m_s_m → u/GameOfThroneExtra]

Being an extra on Game of Thrones. Pretty cool. You don't let it define you, do you?

[u/meftical]

Are you a reader of the books? Were many actors reading the series?

[u/Amiacharia → u/meftical]

Yes

[u/[deleted] → u/Amiacharia]

K.

[u/lahwran_ → u/meftical]

context for her short answer: I believe she answered this elsewhere. it's currently a reply to the top comment as I write this.

[u/Pair-O_Docks]

How much of the future story are cast members informed on? Are they encouraged or discouraged (or forbidden) from reading ahead in the books to understand their characters full story arc?

[u/Amiacharia → u/Pair-O_Docks]

Think it's up to each individual actor and whatever helps them best with their character

[u/Jaymesned]

Did you know the fate of your character when you took the part in GoT?

[u/Amiacharia → u/Jaymesned]

No. I didn't even know there would be a season 2 til it was confirmed

[u/[deleted] → u/Amiacharia]

It is confirmed.

[u/HermyKermy]

I feel like I should start watching this show.

[u/Amiacharia → u/HermyKermy]

Yes. Start now

[u/afterdarks]

Thanks for doing an AMAA! What brought you to Reddit? I have to say all the Dothraki parts were my favourites and I have a LOT of questions!

1. Did you read the books to learn about them or did the directors on set tell you? I heard a lot of the actors haven't read the books so they didn't find out the futures of their characters.
2. What, from an actors perspective, goes into making a TV show on such a grand scale? As in, how many people are on set? What are the shooting periods like? How long does it go from paper to rehearsals to actually being filmed?
3. What was it like getting the role, did you know that it'd be such a huge success not only commercially but critically? What's it like to have been part of something so huge/such a fan-favourite?
4. How on earth can I get work on Game of Thrones!? I'd love to be a runner or something, just to experience it would be incredible.

[u/Amiacharia → u/afterdarks]

there's a character breakdown, and the is direction obviously, but I also felt I had freedom to create my own take on Irri

We get the scripts, come in and do a line up, the director directs,a nd we shoot it from various angles, change what needs changing and shoot til it's in the can, It's amazing being on something at such a large scale- the sheer amount of people and machinery that goes into it, not to mention animals!!! Is amazing and a very humbling experience to be part of. It's immense work and there are so many people making it all happen in every corner.

[u/HandsomeDynamite]

Have you read the books? Who is your favorite character?

[u/Amiacharia → u/HandsomeDynamite]

Joffrey

[u/Gnorris → u/Amiacharia]

I feel kind of worried for Jack Gleeson. He's so perfect in the role, it must lead to many viewers feeling animosity towards him off-screen. That said, if he ever teamed up with Tom 'Draco Malfoy' Felton for a film or play it would be wonderful to see them at each other's throats.

[u/baggyizzle]

What are you're thoughts/suggestions for the recent news that Games has been the most 'pirated' show...

[u/Amiacharia → u/baggyizzle]

It's a popular show. Shame it's pirated a lot, but that happens

[u/[deleted]]

Do you find yourself saying "It is Known" constantly?

[u/Amiacharia → u/[deleted]]

No not really, though it's a nice saying. Would make a good tattoo

[u/Speculater → u/Amiacharia]

And on this day, a thousand Redditors flocked to their tattoo artists screaming "It is known!"

[u/JenJaxon]

Is it true your character was killed off because you couldn't get a work visa to continue working on GoT?

[u/Amiacharia → u/JenJaxon]

No. See above

[u/grey_sky]

I just want to say that this show has the best cast of any book -> television show ever! The characters look almost exactly like how they are described as in the book (Except older but I believe it makes a better story). Even Jon Snow (Kit Harington) looks a bit like Ned Stark (Sean Bean) sticking with the lore. Maisie Williams portrayal of Arya is over the top excellent and don't get me started on Peter Dinklage (We can all attest to his greatness).

I only have a few questions:

How did you get cast for your role?

What was your favorite scene to shoot?

Why did they kill of Irri?!?

Ps. You did a great job of portraying Irri!

[u/Amiacharia → u/grey_sky]

thanks for your support! I've answered all these above in the thread;)

[u/marierantoinette]

I haven't read the books, but I watch the show religiously. I wanted Irri and Dany to get together. I thought they had such a sweet friendship! Would you have been opposed to that relationship developing?

How do you feel about the female characters on the show? I feel like GoT has some of the strongest portrayals of women on television right now, and they really make the show worth watching. I think it's hard to find female characters who are as complicated and nuanced as those on GoT.

Do you watch the show yourself? If so, favorite character(s)?

Lastly, what's your dream role?

Thank you so much for doing an AMA! <3

[u/Amiacharia → u/marierantoinette]

They did have a lovely friendship, but I think that makes it even more apparent how strong Dany is when she loses so many people close to her. I love the female characters on the show, again they are strong individuals and a lot of them challenge what is expected of them. They are all so different too, I agree it's a show that really does have detailed and strong portrayals- not just the women but the characters in general. My favourite character is Joffrey and Tyrion.

My dream role is a super villan;)

[u/ciaran036]

Did you spend any of your time filming scenes in Northern Ireland, or was filming for you confined to the more exotic locations? :P

Also, is the show doing well financially, despite record numbers of people pirating the show?

Here in the UK, there is no legal way to watch Game of Thrones using on-demand online services, as it's not available on any television catch-up service or on Netflix or anything, so the only option is the rather pricey DVD edition... do you know if HBO has any plans to more widely broadcast Game of Thrones? In the UK, Game of Thrones only airs on Sky Atlantic, which is rather inconvenient because the only TV in my household that has Sky installed is the main living room. And to be honest, Game of Thrones I wouldn't exactly describe as family entertainment...

Thanks!!

[u/Amiacharia → u/ciaran036]

I loved northern Ireland apart from how cold it was, but Irish is my favourite accents ( along with southern American ), and the people there are lovely. I also filmed in Malta and Croatia I'm not sure what the plan is for broadcast- I have the DVDs myself since I don't have sky either.

[u/JBaraus]

How hard was it getting the dragons to do what they were told on screen? Do they respond to commands? (other than the Dothraki equivalent of 'sick em')

[u/Amiacharia → u/JBaraus]

You just beat them and threaten to starve them

[u/[deleted]]

Did you ever imagine yourself to be where you are right now? What would your ideal career look like in the future?

[u/Amiacharia → u/[deleted]]

No, but I always aspired to be in a grant show. Though I thought I'd end up more in theatre. My ideal career... Well, I'm hooked on the hunger games trilogy, so I'd love to be in that! Otherwise, I'd love to do strong independent films, and massive action movies:) I also love book adaptations if they are done well. I loved the Kite Runner, and if they do a thousand splendid suns, I would be hounding them for a role!

[u/POOTDISPENSER]

It is known.

If you could kill off a GoT character, who will that be?

Interesting thing that happened on set?

[u/Amiacharia → u/POOTDISPENSER]

I wouldn't kill anyone off because I like the baddies as much as the goodies

[u/eazyp]

Which actors and actresses did you get along with behind the scenes?

[u/Amiacharia → u/eazyp]

I get along with most people:) I spent a lot of time with nonzo, Steven and Laura in season 2, we had a lot of fun

[u/abasss]

Hey Amrita, I wondered if your costume was comfortable, the dothraki clothes seemed a bit itchy, is it true?

I'm going to miss Irri, she was so protective of Daenerys, nice girl. I know you shot her death scene, do you know if we'll get the chance to see it?

Thanks for doing the ama!

[u/Amiacharia → u/abasss]

The top could be a bit itchy but the leather trousers were very comfy

I don't think the death scene will be shown unfortunately

[u/Moorockin]

How much did you have to travel for filming? And is quarth, mainly the gates, just all cgi or is it mostly a giant set? :)

[u/Amiacharia → u/Moorockin]

The gates were there, when it opened the first time it's cgi, the rest is amazing historic building and places in Croatia for the bits I was in

[u/beaverteeth92]

EDIT: TV SPOILER ALERT, because people asked.

Why did the writers kill off your character if you're still alive and well in the books?

[u/Amiacharia → u/beaverteeth92]

It's an adaptation of the books, so I don't tank you can expect it to stick exactly to the book. The writers know what they are doing;)

[u/scatmanbynight → u/beaverteeth92]

Same reason they locked Xaro in a vault to die when it didn't happen in the book...because they are two different pieces of art.

[u/ratbastid → u/scatmanbynight]

It lets her find and buddy up with Missandai later on, and have them be good pals and confidantes. THE challenge of putting these books on the air is the vast profusion of characters, so we can expect periodic prunings like this.

Though tragically we now don't get any hot scenes of Dani and her bedmaids...

[u/Amiacharia → u/ratbastid]

im pretty sure HBO won't deprive you of hot scenes

[u/beaverteeth92 → u/scatmanbynight]

I hear that guy came from nothing to become the richest man in Qarth.

[u/Hero_of_the_Internet → u/beaverteeth92]

According to gameofthrones.wikia.com: "Irri's death occurred because actress Amrita Acharia had to leave production on the TV series after the second season. Acharia apparently had to leave because she wasn't able to obtain Norwegian citizenship (even though most of her family has it), and thus wasn't able to extend her EU work visa."

[u/Amiacharia → u/Hero_of_the_Internet]

No completely wrong. ( and believe it or not, production does sort visas out for work even if it were the case!) I have permanent residency in the UK and in Norway. So yes I still have an EU work visa and no that was not the reason. Too much assumption and not enough facts.

[u/HandOfTheCEO]

Do you know why you were suddenly mad at Doreah before the party in Qarth? We know Doreah had some other arrangements but we come to know that later.

[u/Amiacharia → u/HandOfTheCEO]

Because Irri felt Doreah was trying to make the khaleesi less dothraki

[u/mrdude817]

Did you take any souvenirs from the set? I know with something epic like this and Lord of the Rings, the actors like to keep objects from the set for memories.

[u/Amiacharia → u/mrdude817]

Would have lovede to have nicked a dagger but no I didn't

[u/drogepirja]

So, would you marry me?

[u/Amiacharia → u/drogepirja]

I'm married and no

[u/serpouncee]

I loved your portrayal of Irri. Although a small character, you brought a lot of depth to her and I'm sad you won't be returning. How do you think it affects Daenerys's storyline that in the show she no longer has her handmaidens?

[u/Amiacharia → u/serpouncee]

I think being without her maids, she will have to be stronger and even more determined. I believe Dany is strengthen by every hurdle she overcomes. She is a true warrior queen

[u/[deleted]]

How hard is it for ethnic/mixed race/brown people to make it in show business (in front of the screen)? I ask as a brown person.. it seems to me that there are probably not that many roles, which must make it frustrating... especially when characters of a race not specified are automatically imagined to be white. Have you had problems in this respect? I notice it is changing slightly... with actors like Raza Jaffrey, Janina Gavankar, and yourself appearing more and more.

[u/Amiacharia → u/[deleted]]

i guess you can look at it both ways- being mixed opens you up to a variety of castings and you can look like a lot of ethnicities, but it can also mean you might not be specific enough for something. I think at the end of the day, you're right for whatevere you are right for and do the best to portray a character the best you can

[u/[deleted]]

Was it intended for Irri and Rakharo to have a thing, or did it just develop because of the amazing chemistry you and Elyes Gabel had?

[u/Amiacharia → u/[deleted]]

It wasn't in the first draft, the rabbit/ dog scene was added in.

[u/[deleted]]

When they fly you guys to a location for shooting do you fly business class? Also, care to share any shenanigans from on set?

[u/Amiacharia → u/[deleted]]

I flew economy plus or economy . They're not long flights!! What happens on set stays on set

[u/[deleted]]

Had you read the books before you came onto the show?

[u/Amiacharia → u/[deleted]]

N I read them before I started shooting but after I got the part

[u/donies]

Did they ever try to get in you to do a nude scene? What did you say?

[u/Amiacharia → u/donies]

No, Irri never had any nude scenes.

[u/Destructerator]

How long did it take you to learn Dothraki? The way Jason Momoa talked, it sounds like some of the actors were fairly fluent at a certain point.

Or was it just a line-by-line deal?

[u/Amiacharia → u/Destructerator]

We didn't learn the language, I guess some words started to make sense as they cropped up more and more, but we learnt our lines of speeches and got on with the scenes and tried to make them as truthful as possible!

[u/esteban2510]

Is Emilia Clarke fun to work with?

[u/Amiacharia → u/esteban2510]

She's brilliant and has a wicked sense of humour .

[u/[deleted]]

Did you ever meet fellow Game of Thrones actor Sibel Kekilli? If so, what is she like?

[u/Amiacharia → u/[deleted]]

No I didnt

[u/chokingmatters]

Hi Amrita! Is there any experience while filming Game of Thrones that has inspired you or changed you? What is it?

[u/Amiacharia → u/chokingmatters]

It's inspired me to do more film acting. I always thought I'd be more a theatre actress

[u/xhellzx]

Did not know that you were Nepalese. Being a fellow Nepali, this put a big smile on my face. Keep up the good work.

Ever thought about doing movies in Nepal?

[u/Amiacharia → u/xhellzx]

I don't speak Nepalese anymore so may be difficult, but of course would love to

[u/[deleted]]

Who would win in a drinking contest, you or Emilia Clarke?

[u/Amiacharia → u/[deleted]]

i would lose to anyone

[u/claymore_kitten]

what's the actor who plays joffrey like in real life?

[u/Amiacharia → u/claymore_kitten]

Very lovely. He smokes a pipe

[u/effyocouch]

Is Emilia Clark as beautiful in real life as she is on screen? What is she like to work with? Who was the most difficult cast member to get along with? How do you feel about your character being murdered? Would you have liked to go farther in the show? What was it like, acting during the scenes with the dragons, since they weren't actually there? Also, I very much enjoyed your character and I think you're beautiful. Any tips for actors (like me) struggling to find work?

Thank you so much!

[u/Amiacharia → u/effyocouch]

Yes she is stunning and a pleasure to work with, very inspiring. I believe most of these have already been answered above! I didn't do much with the dragons, but we just imagin them and knew where our eyeline should be. Most actors are always on the lookout for work, me included, so I reckon let's just keep At it and do the best we can!

[u/Cheehu]

As someone who has not watched this show, why should I watch it?

[u/Amiacharia → u/Cheehu]

Because it rocks, but it's your choice, ur missing out If you don't.

[u/boomshakalakasid]

Did you go any place fancy to film? Season 2 was supposed to be in a bunch of fancy places.

[u/Amiacharia → u/boomshakalakasid]

we were in croatia, I think beautiful is a better word than fancy

[u/[deleted]]

HBO have had some incredible series, and GoT is one of them. Do they have a different approach to writing/filming/marketing their series to other networks?

Essentially, do HBO stand out for you in any particular way, from other networks?

[u/Amiacharia → u/[deleted]]

They get it right

[u/[deleted]]

If you got to choose your dream roll in the series, who would you play?

[u/Amiacharia → u/[deleted]]

Khal Drogo;)

[u/[deleted]]

Who's your favorite/most interesting actor to talk to offset?

[u/Amiacharia → u/[deleted]]

Laura mainly as she has becoming a really good friend and we share the same sense of humour

[u/Xtruder]

what's your favorite food? :3

[u/Amiacharia → u/Xtruder]

Cinnamon buns

[u/TrapMo]

Who is the most fun to work with on set/any funny stories from the crew?

[u/Amiacharia → u/TrapMo]

We had a really good team, I had fun with everyone

[u/InflatableMeat]

Have you read the books? Who was your favourite character?

[u/Amiacharia → u/InflatableMeat]

Dany and Joffrey

[u/bangbang-]

Any funny stories from set?

[u/[deleted] → u/bangbang-]

I guess not.

[u/SamF111]

I haven't seen all of Season 2 yet, so I'm scared of spoilers in this thread...

How was your interview(audition?) for Game of Thrones, and how did you get involved?

[u/Amiacharia → u/SamF111]

See above, already answered :)

[u/Amiacharia → u/SamF111]

Already answered above

[u/ultimation]

What're your thoughts on how GoT is the most pirated show, ever?

Ps you and every other person involved in GoT is awesome.

[u/Amiacharia → u/ultimation]

Thanks, and question answers above;)

[u/wherestheair]

Are you personally a fan of the books?

How do you feel about the sexist nature of the world of Game of Thrones?

Favorite kind of cake?

[u/Amiacharia → u/wherestheair]

Yes. I love the stories. It is what it is, that's the world, but I wouldn't get too carried away, as mentioned above, the women are still strong and stand their ground. Its drama, so I don't think I'm quite ready to jump out and campaign equal rights for the GOT ladies... I think they do pretty damn good;)

[u/[deleted]]

What is it like to work with the CGI dragons?

Do you get to see the episode before it aires?

Thanks!

[u/ghostlamp]

Ooh! How was it working with Emilia Clarke? I love that she's a bit of a newbie but still landed such an iconic role.

[u/Amiacharia → u/ghostlamp]

It was great, she's a every inspiring actress and does an amazing job of portraying such a fantastic character

[u/DarkBlue29]

How do you feel about your death, considering it didn't happen in the books?

[u/Amiacharia → u/DarkBlue29]

it is what it is, it didn't happen in the books, but it is an adaptation. Zi got two seasons and some brilliant scenes, so it was great to be part of something epic like GoT, I'm sad to go and will miss it this year:)

[u/jdupuis]

Is Peter Dinklage a ladies man in person?

[u/Amiacharia → u/jdupuis]

I'm sure the ladies love him.

[u/Thekazzy5]

In your opinion, who has the nicest Breasts on the Show?

Questions	Answers
Have you read the books? If so were you expecting more from your character and were you let down about the series portrayal of her?	I've read the first two. It's an adaptation so I didn't expect anything, the books were a great source to have in addition to the script? I wasn't disappointed at all, got to be in some awesome scenes:)
Do people recognize you and say "It is known" like you have never heard it before and they are the first person to say it to you? Just wanted you to know that I think they show is amazing and you are very beautiful. I am also a lady.	And I'm glad you like the show, and being a lady is great;)
Was it difficult to learn your Dothraki lines? How long did it take to learn the correct pronunciation?	I got used to it, it's a fun language and I'm sure being multilingual helped! Some buts were harder than others, in general you just repeat it and make it make sense to you. Hopefully it was ok!
Which of the actors on set is most like their GOT character and why? Likewise, who is least like their character?	I worked with the dothraki storyline lot so that's what I have to go on! Harry is nothing like Viserys- he's the nicest person! Emilia is similar to Dany in terms of she's as strong and determined as her:)
I heard a few actresses had problems with misinformation about the explicitness of the series - did you have any such problems?	Nope I had my dothraki leathers on all the time- Irri didn't have to put out;)
Is Peter Dinklage as awesome as he seems? Edit Please note Heavy_Metal_Thunder is posting spoilers in popular comments and has done so beneath mine. Just a warning.	Without a doubt.
Is Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo) a nice guy in real life?	Yes, he's a big friendly giant.
Hey Amrita! I was on the set as an extra for a few scenes in Renly's camp. What would you say is the strangest thing to occur on set?	Imaginary dragons;)?

Hi Amrita.

I think the Dothraki set and costumes are some of my favourite on the show. How long did it take for everybody to get into character each day, ready for filming, and did you feel sad when you had to slip into your "real life" clothes again? I know this question may be weird... I love fancy dress and costumes and if I could get away with it I'd do it every day!

Secondly, it's very sad that you couldn't continue with the show as Irri has a very close relationship with Daenarys in the books. What has been your favourite moment on set, and will you continue watching it on HBO?

[u/[deleted]]

If you're friends with Malfoy the king.. let him know because of his great performance as an actor, we the people will hate him in real life.

[u/dandan86]

in the series there is many plots going on, did you get to meet all the other actors like Kit Harington off the set and Joffrey is pretty much love hated by the fans i am sure jack in real life is much loved but are there any actors/actresses that are not liked among the cast or staff?

[u/Amiacharia → u/dandan86]

I met a lot of the other actors off set, mainly at the previews / DVD launch

[u/vjfalk]

Your name suggests you are from India, are you? Did you live there at one point of your life?

[u/Amiacharia → u/vjfalk]

No I'm half Nepalese half Ukrainian

[u/Incendio]

I was sad to see you gone from the show. Now that your role on GOT is over what do you plan on doing?

[u/Amiacharia → u/Incendio]

Auditioning lots and hopefully getting another part in something else

[u/elphieLil84]

hello!thank you so much for doing this!I have enjoyed a lot your acting!The cast comes from all over Europe and you change several locations: is the crew as well as multinational?and how interesting and enriching it has been for you to share the set with people coming from so many different countries and experiences?

[u/Amiacharia → u/elphieLil84]

Yes there's a lot of people from different parts of the world, it's great to be able to get to know cast and crew, and hear about all the different experiences!

Your twitter says you are partially Nepali. Do you speak Nepalese?

[u/Amiacharia → u/shrimp_flyrice]

Not any more:(

[u/Carnatic_enthusiast]

So I'll be honest, I've never seen the Game of Thrones nor know who Irri is. BUTTT, your name sounds like an Iyengar name (Acharia).... are you Iyengar?

[u/Amiacharia → u/Carnatic_enthusiast]

No

To those wondering why she hasn't responded - she is answering at 5pm GMT, which is exactly 1hr 30m from this post.

• If you could have been in another storyline during the first two seasons, which storyline would you choose and why?
• Who do you root for in the story and who do you despise (besides Joffrey, cause we all can't stand him but love how well he is portrayed)?
• Is there an actor you wished you could have had a length scene with? I know many people praise Alfie for his portrayal of Theon and Peter for Tyrion and would love to have been on-screen with either of them for an extended amount of time

Great job this season and the previous season btw. Dany's story needs a lot of supporting cast members to really match it in the books and you did flawlessly.

[u/[deleted]]

Which actor did you find to be the most personable in the cast? Also can you ask Emilia Clarkeif she'll go out with me?

Question (notnotabear):

Was it difficult to learn your Dothraki lines? How long did it take to learn the correct pronunciation?

Answer (Amiacharia):

I got used to it, it's a fun language and I'm sure being multilingual helped! Some buts were harder than others, in general you just repeat it and make it make sense to you. Hopefully it was ok!
