At The End Of The

I Feel Like I Have One Foot In New York, One Foot In London And One Foot In India. But It's Important To Me To Invest Time With Family.

I Knew From A Young Age That I Wanted To Be An Actor. I Never Even Thought About Other Careers. The Acting Field Is Certainly Not The Path Many Indian Parents Encourage Their Children To Take, But Mine Were Very Supportive. They Wanted Me To Have An Education, But Understood That This Is What I Wanted To Do.

I Don't Ever Want To Be Hugely Famous Because I Had A Little Taste Of It After 'east Is East' And 'bend It.'

When I Started Out In The '90s, There Were Not Many People Of Color Writing, Directing And Producing - Hence, The Roles For People Of Color Were Few And Far Between. There's Still Few Roles In England [where She's From].

Since I Was A Baby My Goal Was To Be On Tv Because Film Was Just Impossible - You Never Got Any Asian Women In Western Cinema. I Grew Up Wanting To Be In 'east-enders' Because Film Wasn't Even A Dream. The Community Were Very Much Like, 'how Can You Want To Act? It's Such A Low-class Profession.
