Yeah, my family is of Indian heritage.

The thing is, I am a loving person. I am super sappy when it comes to romance. But I'm not the Antonio Banderas, swashbuckling, Pierce Brosnan, smooth-talking type.

'Slumdog' was my first movie, and I had never been to India before - I was just a teenager in the U.K. with my headphones and my Nike shoes. What did I know about growing up in a slum?

Television moves fast, and you don't have the indulgences you have when you're shooting movies of so many takes because there are tight deadlines.

Training in taekwondo for eight years and then being able to do it in a film was pretty amazing.

I don't think I have the pulling power of Jim Carrey.

I'm an Asian guy growing up in London so I see myself as British, but India is part of my culture.
