I Went Out For A Film Where

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.

And I'd Love To Direct. One Day. I'm Learning A Lot On The Set Of The Good Wife.

I Remember Sitting In School And Thinking, 'i Don't Know Why I'm Here, Because I Know I'm Going To Act And I Know I'm Going To America.'

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 Like To Cook Indian Food When I Can. I Find The Process Of Creating A Home-cooked Meal To Be Unwinding.
