When I was growing up in Newcastle, there was one other Indian girl, and we got confused for each other constantly.

I have to say that New York is so different than the New York in 'Friends.'

I think Australia focuses on people that had a big start at home, like 'Home and Away' or 'Neighbours' graduates, and the truth is those shows are pretty white for the most part. The diverse actors go straight to the States because that is where more diverse stories and opportunities are being presented.

I think my dad's rebellion is that he's super accepting - I mean, he, like, encouraged me to drop out of university. And to do acting.
