It Was The Success Of

My Mother Wanted To Be A Teacher When She Was Young, And My Father Didn't Approve Of It, So She Fought Very Hard To Become One. And She Did It. So When I Said I Wanted To Become An Actress, My Mother Was Very Supportive. She Always Said To Me, 'there's No Such Thing As 'can't.

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 What I Wanted To Do For My Entire Life, From Nursery To University. I've Always Been Geared Towards Wanting To Act. I've Stuck With It, Dedicated Time To It.

When I Was Younger I Was Fat. I Was Never Conscious Of It And Was Content With Who I Was Because I Was So Loved. My Mother Never Told Me To Lose Weight And My Father Doted On Me, But My Agent Told Me. I Tried, But I Loved Indian Food Too Much.

I Have Always Let The Lack Of Indian Actors In The Industry Drive Me, Not Hold Me Back. I Remember An Agent In L.a. Telling Me A Few Years Ago That An Indian Actor Wouldn't Ever Make It In Hollywood, But My Ethnicity Has Helped Me.
