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.'

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

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.

Sometimes my ethnicity is relevant, other times not. I definitely get the best of both worlds.

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.

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.

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