Talking about the kind of roles she has rejected and the kind of roles she wishes to do in Hollywood, the Tamasha actor said:

“I think we have a long way to go when it comes to South Asian representation. So I think that’s what I am looking for.

“I am done for all of us – on behalf of all of us – being the Indian doctor in a movie or the Indian Taxi driver.

“I want to be a Wonder Woman, I want to be Bat Woman and there’s no reason, and when I say I, I mean we.

“There’s no reason why I want us to be Barbie.

“I want us to be all of those things and there’s no reason why we can’t be.

“And so the choice of or the decision to not do these movies is an intentional decision to say – bring me, bring us something that is worth our talent, worth our while and worth our energy.”
