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.

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

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.

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

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.'

I've always been quite psychic and believe there's a reason why things happen and that we need to learn from them.

Coming to New York is like a big hug, everyone is so welcoming. There's something about here, everyone makes you feel so at home. I miss my family of course, but I don't miss London that much. I was worried, but I feel really at home. Everyone says that who comes here from London, but I didn't believe them.
