Before I was cast for 'Brothers,' we all knew that Karan Johar was looking for an actress for to play a mother's role. I never thought that he would think of casting me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you ever meet an actor who's the child of actors, they'll never tell you that they wanted to be a star. But what I did realise early on was that I just wanted to be in that tribe.
I knew I would never be cast as the pretty girl.
That is the beauty of working with Karan Johar: you are going to look your best.
I never hoped that both my children would become actors. I expected them to do something else.
I never saw an actor and thought, 'Wow, I want to be like that.' It's just I wanted it to be part of my life.
I thought people would think I only wanted to be an actor because my dad was, rather than because I had an innate calling.
I've auditioned for normal characters. But I never get cast.
When I was going on auditions, it was nerve-racking. I'd always say to my mom that it would be awesome if I could get a series. When Modern Family came along, I said, 'You know what, Mom? I believe I'm going to get this role.'
It was a mixed blessing to have famous parents. It was tough to go to auditions and be bad, since I couldn't be anonymous.
I was lucky - the first eight productions I auditioned for, I got cast.
