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 knew from a young age that I wanted to be an actor. I never even thought about other careers. The acting field is certainly not the path many Indian parents encourage their children to take, but mine were very supportive. They wanted me to have an education, but understood that this is what I wanted to do.

I think it is vital to fight to do something you want to do despite not gaining your community's or your friends' approval.

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

I went out for a film where they wanted seven brothers and one sister, so I was there for half a day while they were waiting for 'Archie' to read for a boy I've had drivers come to pick me up in England looking for a blond, blue-eyed Scottish boy.
