You can have all the agents and publicists in the world but no one's ever going to give you 110 per cent like someone who loves you.

The generation that migrated to the West in the 1970s or 1960s has now lived more in the West than India, and India has changed so much. My parents fall into that category.

My mother told me not to listen to anyone. She had been told that she wouldn't be able to teach and she did.

Luckily my parents were not against my ambition, they've always been very supportive. But they were adamant that I went to university first.

I am still married, yes - no children. I have Benzo, though; he's my dog, a Lhasa apso.

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.'

I'd love to do a romantic comedy. And perhaps, if the character was right and I had a good gut instinct, a Bollywood movie. And I'd love to direct. One day. I'm learning a lot on the set of 'The Good Wife.'
