Sharon Johal is the role model Australian TV needs

Sharon Johal is playing the first turban wearing Sikh character in Binge’s award-winning TV drama The Twelve.

As an Indian-Australian woman in entertainment she’s constantly paved paths that had previously been closed off - and her journey hasn’t always been easy.

On this episode of The Weekend Briefing, she joins Antoinette Lattouf to talk about her latest project, the impact on her career since calling out the racism she endured when she was on the set of Neighbours, and her experience on reality TV show The Block – which Sharon says almost broke her.
