I don't want to go and play a cliched Indian girl.

When I first started, all the media I ever got was, 'Hey! There's this Indian girl. And even though she is Indian, she gets views and stuff.'

I think that there's so many levels of what is appropriate for an Indian woman to do.

Because my parents are Indian, everybody speaks Hindi to me, and I have no idea what they are saying.

I'm very attracted to Indians.

I don't think people give Indian society enough credit. We may not like to talk much about things but we do, basically, want to live and let live.

The glorification of sisters, mothers as the selfless Indian women who will do 'agni pariksha' and the one who sees her own betterment only in the betterment of their husbands and fathers, that has to stop. It's very regressive.

Each day we understand better what the Indians say, and they us, so that very often we are intelligible to each other.

I am an Indian to the core.

Therefore reinforcing a stereotype, therefore thinking that the entire Indian culture is just made of people that are against their children's decisions.
