I was born in India - but never really lived there.

I'm not really a food connoisseur.

I grew up on American pop culture so everything that I fantasized about to get out of this sort of humdrum world of Bradford was about America. So when we decided to move there I was on the plane.

England has an interesting relationship with the Indian subcontinent because the years of colonization and the history between the two places.

In some ways for many years I was off the hook.When my niece was born after that their attention was focused on that and she did that. You know, that was in our family that's what she did. I went off and chased this dream and this career that very other few people in our, you know, in my family, but even culturally were doing.

Paki- bashing was kind of this term that was used in general to beat up anyone that was from the Indian subcontinent.

I think family dynamics are definitely very interesting. And in my case my sister did get married. She gave my parents a grandchild.
