Same Person

[sad old git]

the excellent series of The Good Wife on channel 14 often features a character called Kalinder? (spelling?). Is this the same actress who plays the girlfriend of the Widower in the last episode? If not the resemblance is very striking.

Archie Panjabi played Kalinda Sharma in The Good Wife and Simone Banerjee in The Widower.
