Netflix's new crime thriller Kohrrais the talk of the town and for good reason. The compelling web series is earning rave reviews from most quarters. Another reason viewers are flocking to watch the series is to catch a glimpse of actress Rachel Shelley, who is best known for her role as Elizabeth Russell in the 2001 film Lagaan. In the film, she played the role of Captain Russell's sister, a kind-hearted woman in love with Aamir Khan's Bhuvan. Now, 22 years later, Rachel Shelley has returned to an Indian production with the Netflix original, this time in the role of a mother desperately looking for her missing son.
