On her love life: “I’m not someone who looks for love. I don’t believe in making it happen. My life has been shaped by so many serendipitous moments so far, I feel like, why screw with a good thing?”
On her upcoming project, Baywatch: “I loved Baywatch so much growing up. It was the quintessential American dream. All those beautiful people in bathing suits, running slo-mo on the beaches — amazing!”
On taking on new challenges: “I like to find my own way. My parents always encouraged me. They were like: ‘You got you.’ I think my inherent sense of confidence comes from that.”
On Bollywood beginnings: “Coming from academics, like an idiot, I was like, Oh, it’s just pretty people. You’ve got to wear lovely outfits and say a few lines. How hard can this be?” Boy, was I surprised. I just kind of went on set and fell and dusted myself off, and learned, and then fell again and figured it out.”
On her ultimate dream — having kids: As many as I can. I love kids. Love, love kids. I prefer their company to the company of adults, actually.
