I was always in trouble from an early age. I had a fraught relationship with my parents, who were very traditional. Doing plays at school was a joyous release.

I think any actor should be aware of where they're starting to stretch into what's not truthful.

I'm not an academic, but I've always loved poetry since I've been small.

I think that reality TV is so bad. It is a tool by the media to not make people think.

My mum made a conscious decision not to teach me any Indian languages so I wouldn't talk with an accent.

Lets just say I was really bad. Now I have grown into myself. I have changed.

I never felt at home in London, because people were constantly telling me I didn't belong here, so after a while, you tend to believe that.
