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

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.'

I had a dialect coach to get an American accent, and then another dialect coach to come off it a bit. There is something deep and mysterious in the voice when it isn't too high-pitched American.

I knew what I wanted to do for my entire life, from nursery to university. I've always been geared towards wanting to act. I've stuck with it, dedicated time to it.

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