Meera syal — who made her name as a younger woman playing a granny several decades her senior in the Kumars At No. 42 — says, at 56, she is happy to be looking older. ‘You can’t look great all of the time, so I accept all the bits of me that are older and saggier because I earned them,’ she says proudly. ‘every wrinkle and every stretch mark has been put there for a reason. they say you end up with the face you deserve — I really think that’s true.’
