However, speaking of her partner Robert James Collier’s education, the actor has a degree in Business from the University of Huddersfield. Fun fact: Collier’s parents wanted him to have an academic background so they put him and even his entire siblings through university.
Is Lauren Chandiram Indian?
Despite Lauren appearing as a natural blonde for years, people have wondered if Robert’s partner is Indian. The inquisitiveness is alleged to have arisen considering her surname, Chandiram.

Then in Feb 2013, the New York Post came with a piece wherein it claimed Chandiram, the girlfriend of Robert is half British and half Sri Lankan by birth. It though is unclear what nationality each of her parents belongs to.
Lauren’s Profession; She Used To Own a Clothing Store

Also, back then, Chandiram reportedly had several modeling opportunities but refused to work with them. However, there were rumors that Lauren was planning to own a fashion boutique soon. But there has never been any official news regarding that.
What Is Lauren Chandiram Doing Now?
Her line of work post her affiliation with Robert is yet to get under public scrutiny. As discussed previously, Lauren other than the partner of actor Robert is quite a closed-in being. The couple clearly lives a very private life, especially minus the acting fame of Collier.
For years, Lauren’s pursuits, both professional and personal have been a big-time thriller given how concealed her life is. Chandiram, regardless, is believed to be a full-time mother to her and Collier’s son whereas Robert still works on movies and TV. The last movie her beau played in was Downton Abbey: A New Era, released in the year 2022.
The Long-Term Partners, Lauren And Her Boyfriend Robert Have Been Together For 15 years
Lauren and her beau Robert have been together since 2007 and still seem to be so in love. Three years after they started dating, the couple gave birth to a baby in the year 2010. They named their first child, Milo. Robert and Lauren are still together and live a very private life but do a few appearances during certain events.
Despite being together for over two decades with a child, Chandiram and Robert are yet to tie the knot.

The still-in-love couple is spotted at several events and parties together. Lauren and her partner Robert make joint appearances on several different occasions. Chandiram also has had her way through several red-carpet events with her loving partner Robert James Collier.

Lauren Chandiram Didn’t Like Her Boyfriend, Robert Kissing Men On Downton Abbey
As mentioned Robert is famous for playing the gay character Thomas Barrow in the historical drama series, Downton Abbey. The audience either loved/hated him for the three seasons Collier played one of the two main series’ antagonists.
However, it’s a bit ironic that one of the people who disliked Robert’s notable role was his girlfriend, Chandiram.
Back in March 2016, during an interview with Jonathan Ross on The Jonathan Ross Show, Collier while talking about his Downton Abbey character, said how his partner reacted to him when he told her he was the one who actually put the kissing scene in one of the scenes.
Recalling further the actor said,
Kissing a guy, I thought I was gonna get away with that…Missus turns to me and “You never kissed me like that.”
Apparently, Chandiram’s problem had more to do with her baby father being a good kisser on screen than he ever had been to her in real life.
