Larger-than-life roles have never excited me. I'd rather play someone real who goes through obstacles and becomes a hero.
The roles for South Asians may have increased by a decent number but there has been a negligible change in the quality of these roles. We still have to fight stereotypes. Fortunately, I've had the priviledge of working with people who look beyond the color of your skin.
I want to play characters that are real, that have depth in them.
I think that the audience wants to see women being put into real situations where they can relate to them, rather than seeing some glamorous woman in a 'Bond' film.
I look forward to playing characters where I want to play the ordinary, to be honest... Farmer's wife, tailor's daughter, the teacher characters that exist for real emotions.
I am keen to do roles that are down-to-earth, appealing, and sensitive.
I always look for reality. I look for plain truthful roles.
I just want to keep finding special characters that I feel like I can bring to life and characters that are real and not superficial.
