I always advocate to young women that if we don't do this for ourselves, no one else is going to. We have to have a voice.

I don't want to be a stereotype; I want a character that's aspirational.

I have photo shoots or commercials that I do, or things in India. It's usually a seven-day week for me. So physically it does get exhausting.

I seek out parts which are strong women. It's not the quantity of a role; it's the quality of a role.

I don't ever want to do the same character twice. Variety excites me.

There have been so many nations around the world that have had female leaders, including India.

After reaching season two on TV series, having done a film, and receiving acknowledgment in America, I feel like now whatever I do will be on me. My choices will be mine; my disappointments will be mine.
