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.

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

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

When I was younger I was fat. I was never conscious of it and was content with who I was because I was so loved. My mother never told me to lose weight and my father doted on me, but my agent told me. I tried, but I loved Indian food too much.

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

When I started out in the '90s, there were not many people of color writing, directing and producing - hence, the roles for people of color were few and far between. There's still few roles in England [where she's from].
