I Always Advocate To Young Women That

We're Afraid Of Letting People See The Glory Of Who We Are.

I Don't Think A Lot Of People In America Understand What Indians Are. And That's Our Fault, A Little. We Tend To Forget Our Roots A Bit. As Kids We Think, If I'm Too Indian, I'll Be Put In A Box, And People Will Think Of Me As Different. They'll Think I'm Weird, Because I Eat Indian Food Or My Name Is Difficult To Pronounce.

Every Movie That I Do, I Always Try And Better Myself In The Next One And Try And Find A Part Which Is More Challenging. It's A Little Vulnerable To Do That, To Always Push The Envelope. You Position Yourself For A Lot More Flack Or A Lot More Critique Because You're Trying To Do Something Different. Sometimes You're Good At It And Sometimes You're Not, But It's A Chance You Have To Take To Make Life Exciting.

My Ambition When I Was Four Years Old Was To Be Married.

I Was Rejected Many Times. I Cried. I Was Told That Female Actors Are Replaceable In Films Because They Just Stand Behind A Guy Anyway. I'm Still Used To Being Paid - Like Most Actresses Around The World - A Lot Less Than The Boys. We're Told We're Too Provocative Or That Being Sexy Is Our Strength, Which It Can Be, And It Is, But That's Not The Only Thing We Have. But Women Have Incredible Endurance And Incredible Strength. Your Ability To Deal With It Is Within You.
