There's one disturbing notion throughout India that light skin is more attractive than dark.

I think it's important to be extremely proud of one's origins, especially when you are a foreign actress with ethnic features.

I actually didn't mind school, and I enjoyed university and college.

As the worlds getting filled with temptations, were getting a bit frivolous and a bit fickle.

I find it very interesting these days that films are bringing in so many people of different ethnicities, and I'm proud to be a part of that cultural shift.

I find it very hard to say yes or no quite openly, because people are never satisfied. One day they write us off as saying we're not together and the next day we're together and getting married.

A lot of the younger Indian generation are either IT geniuses or doctors - the number of doctors I've seen in L.A. who are Indian is just crazy. So it is a very common thing. Or an accountant! That again is a very, very big thing.
