And I'd love to direct. One day. I'm learning a lot on the set of The Good Wife.

As soon as I moved to New York, I experienced Hurricane Irene and then Hurricane Sandy hit me in quite a big way. I had 12 days without any electricity or any water. The thing that I realized the most from it was that we've become so dependent on technology. There's so much accessibility to information that suddenly when everything is cut off, you're completely lost, and you start asking deeper and more profound questions - how short life is, and how grateful we should be for things.

There is a big misconception about arranged marriage. Yes, it can mean that you meet someone and then have to marry them, but this was my mother saying, 'I'm going to introduce you to so-and-so - If you don't like them, fair enough.

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

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.

I loved eating and I did put on weight. I never actually felt fat until I started going for castings, for auditions.
