I'm a very aggressive person. I have slapped people when they have tried to grab me or my friends. I have reported people to the cops.

I still remember how my father used to wake me up at 4 A.M. and make me study. He also used to take me for a walk and then always dropped me to school. I was very disciplined, as my father inculcated those values in me. Now that my father is no more, I understand that you should not take your parents for granted.

My father always taught me to never be quiet. That's the good thing about a Bengali household.

I don't believe in doing one thing after another. I am a bit lazy, laid back, and a happy-go-lucky person. I don't fret too much. I enjoy living in the moment. If I have too much, then I get confused and distressed.

Deep down, I'm a small-town girl who has it drilled in her DNA to grow up, marry, have kids, settle down. Maybe I will knock the same theory in my kids' heads, too. I'm also liberal, a political enthusiast, a bookworm, and the least bit ambitious to pull off a soap drama queen act.

He tried to grab them and I said, 'No, you can't. They're all full of mud and you can't take them because they're ruined, ... I told him, 'You can always get another. Christmas is coming up.'
