Tropes
- Irony as She Is Cast: The behind the scenes of Cloak & Dagger (2018) notes the irony of Dilshad Vadsaria, an advocate for women's rights and gender equality, playing the sex trafficker Lia.
- Ms. Fanservice: Murder in the First shows her having sex with a man, with extended shots of her back and bare buttocks after she finishes and gets up. In Second Chance (2016), she gets another sex scene, while also being shown for a lengthy scene in her lingerie while deciding what dress to put on.
- What Might Have Been: In Greek, she originally auditioned for the role of Ashleigh before being cast as Rebecca.
