When I was younger I was fat. I was never conscious of it and was content with who I was because I was so loved. My mother never told me to lose weight and my father doted on me, but my agent told me. I tried, but I loved Indian food too much. – Archie Panjabi
Id love to do a romantic comedy. And perhaps, if the character was right and I had a good gut instinct, a Bollywood movie. And Id love to direct. One day. Im learning a lot on the set of The Good Wife. – Archie Panjabi
My mother wanted to be a teacher when she was young, and my father didnt approve of it, so she fought very hard to become one. And she did it. So when I said I wanted to become an actress, my mother was very supportive. She always said to me, Theres no such thing as cant. – Archie Panjabi
There is a big misconception about arranged marriage. Yes, it can mean that you meet someone and then have to marry them, but this was my mother saying, Im going to introduce you to so-and-so – If you dont like them, fair enough. – Archie Panjabi
