You have this impression from England that New Yorkers can be quite aggressive, but certainly the people that I've bumped into and the friends I've made here don't seem that way. Just walking down the street and asking for directions, people seem to be very helpful and happy to help.

I like to cook Indian food when I can. I find the process of creating a home-cooked meal to be unwinding.

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.

I loved eating and I did put on weight. I never actually felt fat until I started going for castings, for auditions.

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.

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'd love to say I made the smart decision of picking projects that became hits, but with 'The Good Wife,' I read the script and something inside me said, 'I love this, I want to do this.'
