I want to be the first Pakistani, like some of our counterparts in India, to really go out and show that we Pakistanis can even be successful outside Pakistan.

From a social networking point of view, Pakistan is not very far away.

I like to stay in touch with the fans via social media a lot. I really get involved through Twitter and Instagram, if anyone wants to see what I'm doing.

My mother was from West Bromwich; my grandfather was Pakistani. I had an aunt who started trying to trace the family tree and stopped when she saw what turned up.

I would like to help my people in any way I can. It's difficult times in Pakistan and we all have to help.

I was born and raised in Essex, just outside London, to a financially comfortable, well-educated Pakistani family.

Pakistani politics is complicated, and I think it's not something a foreigner can easily assimilate and understand.

We are Punjabis from Amritsar, though I was born and brought up in Mumbai and did my Bachelors in Mass Media, specializing in advertising and marketing.

You want to try to find your heritage.

No one's of Pakistani origin in any British show. That's why every actor of color is here working in the States. It's true.
