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.

It was the success of 'Bend it Like Beckham' which got my name out there. 'A Mighty Heart' also helped.

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

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 don't ever want to be hugely famous because I had a little taste of it after 'East Is East' and 'Bend It.'

I am one of the new characters in the brand new series of 'Postman Pat.' It has been a joy to do.

The predictable thing about 'The Good Wife' is how unpredictable 'The Good Wife' is.
