Renos Nicos Spanoudes interviews Durban-based actress, Katishcka Kiara, who portrays the role of Pauline in the Netflix series, Blood & Water
Renos Nicos Spanoudes interviews Durban-based actress, Katishcka Kiara, who portrays the role of Pauline in the Netflix series, Blood & Water. She is a 24-year-old South African actress, model and influencer who studied at AFDA Durban, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Live Performance.
Katishchka plays the character of Pauline. She has subsequently shot another Netflix series (post-filming season three of Blood & Water in March-May 2022). The upcoming Netflix series, 'The Hive' is directed by Gareth Crocker & Nick Wolmarans. This is set to air in 2023 on Netflix. Increased accurate representation of Indian females in the media and entertainment industry is one of the main reasons that Katishcka got into the industry. She wants to add to the inclusion of Indian faces and Indian stories into narratives and represent them authentically. She is currently the only Indian cast member in the main cast of 'Blood & Water'.
After graduating, Katishcka starred in the short film, 'Slumber Party' directed by Palesa Lebona which was part of the National Film and Video Foundation's Female Filmmaker's Project. The film aired on SABC 1 in 2019 and is currently available for streaming on Showmax.
Her big break came in 2021 when she was cast in the second season of 'Blood & Water' on Netflix; a highly successful Netflix South Africa original that aired worldwide and was trending in the top 10 shows on Netflix internationally.
Katishcka has also starred in a featured role in an upcoming Amazon series, 'The Power' which is created by the creators of 'The Handmaid's Tale'.
On the content creation and influencer front, Katishcka collaborates and partners with brands like Netflix, Sorbet, Edgars, The ARC Store, Krispy Kreme, amongst others, to create content on Instagram and TikTok. Her TikTok following is at 11,2K and her highest viewed TikTok video is at 795K views; which is part of a popular content series that she created for TikTok called; “Indian Families”.
Katishcka is currently based in Durban but frequently works in Cape Town and Johannesburg. Other hobbies include: being really good at accents (British, American, Australian, Indian, Irish), yoga/fitness and meditation.
Katishcka is passionate about sharing her mental health journey with anxiety and depression and how spirituality and lifestyle changes have helped her.
