There are occasions when I've had beef, but I generally tend to avoid it, as a nod towards my parents' culture.

I am officially a doctor, and believe it or not, I can save lives and tune certain instruments and can beat peasants with a stick.

It always interested me that 'Goodness Gracious Me' and 'The Kumars,' when shown around the world, were referred to as British comedy. It was only here that they were referred to as Asian comedy, even though I always felt it was very British in its humour and structure.

I love team sports - they give me something to focus on rather than the fact that I can't breathe or my muscles are aching.

I might do a fitness video. Actually, more of a fatness video.

I went to a psychotherapist for a year and a bit, and it was fantastic. I went in with a very clear question: I couldn't work out why I behaved in a certain way in certain situations, and I got that answered.

Both my parents were migrant workers who came to the U.K. in the Fifties to better themselves. The culture I grew up in was to work hard, save hard and to look after your family.
