I Don't Ever Want To Be Hugely

I'd Love To Say I Made The Smart Decision Of Picking Projects That Became Hits, But With 'the Good Wife,' I Read The Script And Something Inside Me Said, 'i Love This, I Want To Do This.'

I Have Always Let The Lack Of Indian Actors In The Industry Drive Me, Not Hold Me Back. I Remember An Agent In L.a. Telling Me A Few Years Ago That An Indian Actor Wouldn't Ever Make It In Hollywood, But My Ethnicity Has Helped Me.

As Soon As I Moved To New York, I Experienced Hurricane Irene And Then Hurricane Sandy Hit Me In Quite A Big Way. I Had 12 Days Without Any Electricity Or Any Water. The Thing That I Realized The Most From It Was That We've Become So Dependent On Technology. There's So Much Accessibility To Information That Suddenly When Everything Is Cut Off, You're Completely Lost, And You Start Asking Deeper And More Profound Questions - How Short Life Is, And How Grateful We Should Be For Things.

Coming To New York Is Like A Big Hug, Everyone Is So Welcoming. There's Something About Here, Everyone Makes You Feel So At Home. I Miss My Family Of Course, But I Don't Miss London That Much. I Was Worried, But I Feel Really At Home. Everyone Says That Who Comes Here From London, But I Didn't Believe Them.

I Knew From A Young Age That I Wanted To Be An Actor. I Never Even Thought About Other Careers. The Acting Field Is Certainly Not The Path Many Indian Parents Encourage Their Children To Take, But Mine Were Very Supportive. They Wanted Me To Have An Education, But Understood That This Is What I Wanted To Do.
