Olivia Colman Traces Her Indian Heritage | Who Do You Think You Are? (U.K.)

Shes so calming to watch

Thank you Warner Bros.. for correct and factual depiction of India’s Map.

WB can you please not use that BG music, it's extremely overused and cringy.

I'm glad they showed the full map of India.

According to genetics every person living in west of india has indian genes.
Its because that how human migration happened.
Thats why aryan invasion theory is false. Aryans did not come to india from outside india but aryans were indians who migrated from india to outside world.
Yes indians are aryans. One of the ancient name of india is aryavrat, it means land of aryans.
The first satellite which india sent in space was called 'Aryabhatt'. Note the world arya which is aryan. Aryabhatt was a great mathematician.

Western people used to seek ancestry in the biblical zoo a 100 year back. Then it was the Aryan craze. Now just something a little exotic will do.
Can you really feel something (not like Kipling😅) for this land ?

Best thing about this video is the Warner Bros showing the right map of India. jai Hind. Thanks Warner Bros

Olivia is a lovely actress and I like her work. But anyone feeling sorry about the poverty in India should remember that the East India Company and later British government made this country poor. Of course the rulers in India are responsible too for the state. But after such a great loot, at least don’t pity the people and consider helping them as charity. Its payback.

It's amazing to find out about your ancestors...it's a great job ma'am

Aree ye ro mere bagal district ka hai bhai 😀🧐

“Living with Indian women “ is an understatement……

Your majesty , you have Indian DNA!

Descendant of theives has come what's new to it

Hey, is this Nick Nelson's mother from "heartstopper"?

lets farm indian views by dozens

What is she so pumped up about??? I bet she must be cursing herself for that "tainted" thimble of blood coursing through her body!!!

Damned Inglis!!!😂😂😂

Omg why does the place look so horrible even till day, this is outrageous!

Olivia is such a character, her expression of joy, excitement is so clearly visible and attractive. It is absolutely infectious.

As British people came to India in large numbers, there was marriage and mixed race children, who on reaching England melted in British society.
Those stayed behind known as Anglo Indian and had a better privileged life till 47.
After that they also mixed with local Christian society.

Harriet's story can so totally become a melodramatic movie. And Olivia Coleman can play one of Harriet's English aunties.

3 in 10 every high class britisher nowadays has indian herigate.

Beautiful ♡

Technical, ALL Europeans are Indians because the speakers of Indo European language migrated from India to what is now europe and bought civilization there. So your welcome.

Her being wildly surprised by the traffic is sending me 🤣🤣🤣

It's not surprising. A large section of British artists and poets in the 17th and 18th centuries were born in Eastern India. Not only just British but French too. Eastern India around Kolkata was home to people from all over the world. US has its second oldest consulate in Kolkata.

When British can make records of Harriet but not a single record of her mother's name and her whereabouts.. welcome to colonial India.

They did not just live...they colonized madam

Wow this story can become a really good historical drama movie, I'd watch that

love from india

She's such a lovely soul.

British were so good at keeping records. We were able to trace our roots back to a village in India using the records in national archives in Fiji and in Sydney. That is after about 150 years

I find it ridiculous that so many English people are proud of their remote Indian ancestry, which makes them seem exotic I suppose (as long as the percentage of blood is less than 5%, you cannot be too Indian after all), yet 90% of English I've met are so uppity with us

There are still Anglo-Indians living in bihar from the time when British colonies were there and some decided to stay while others left their mistresses and went back to their home.

Before British loot era India was trading with many nations. All connections servered now.

Olivia Colman came to Kishanhanj, Bihar 😮

All these letters seem fabricated

Illegitimate child😂

so ur great father is also one of people who made indians slave and took our wealth

well it is well know she is a wife of other men after giving birth Englishman threw her out and what unimaginable things happen to that woman by her husband and society of that evil era of Hinduism

that child suffered a lot that's for sure it not like she want to be born to evil Englishmen who forced her mother and used her like a thing

Nick's mom!!!!🥰

Daamn she just passed by my Hometown NEPAL border.

Harriet, technically, was one of the early Anglo Indians though she didn't quite live in India. The Anglo Indians were formed after Victoria usurped the power to rule India from the Company and banned British soldiers from taking Indian wives. Many children born of such illegitimate unions were not allowed to inherit the privileges of the father's title and had to stay back in India and went on to develop their own community and traditions mixing native and Anglo-Christian customs.

I wish this was a special edition of Peep Show. She’s not nearly as fun without it 😅

Ok she is an good actress

She's irritating

So sad the mother had to give up her daughter and she probably did not have much say in it. She remains anonymous without husband and her child how sad 😢

I love her accent ❤
