* She talks about playing a villain in Baywatch.
* She was conscious of her skin color in India, because you are considered pretty if you have fair skin. She is dusky.
* She regrets using and doing commercial for a skin-lightening cream when she was very young, because of insecurities
* She says a girl at school used to call her "curry".
* People dont understand what Indians are because "We’re afraid of letting people see the glory of who we are".
* She did not settle. She did not want to be the stereotype of either Bollywood or what Indian actors are usually offered. (The exotic, beautiful girl, or the academically inclined nerd.)
* Indian women can call themselves "exotic" if it's someone else it’s the stereotype of snake charmers and face jewelry.
* She does not get offended anymore. Now She educates.
* She felt the pressure of being the Lead of Quantico because people would be like : 'Oh my God, Indian actors can’t do lead parts.’
* Now that She is etablished in America, She does not feel that pressure anymore because whatever she does will be on her.
