I don't speak Punjabi. My dad runs a beauty salon and is an Elvis fan.

I think I have become wise enough, because I started at a young age and know there are ups and downs in this business - I've realised it's not real.

In my job, the not working is real and the actual work is just fantasy.

People are catching on to diversity and colour-blind casting. For me, it meant turning down certain work and making a stand.

There are certain roles - say, terrorist roles - that if I don't feel like it's something truthful, I'm not going to do it.

That's one of the things I really respect and admire about 'Doctor Who', is that they're always thinking out of the box with the characters they write and the actor they employ to portray them. They're always challenging the stereotypes and peoples' way of thinking.
