Do you agree that Hollywood needs a taste of the Indian culture?

Shefali: Ooh definitely. Especially if it means getting me in there! Yeah, I agree Hollywood needs a good kick up the *** concerning Indian actors and actresses. Eventually I believe there will be an increase in Asian actors. It's inevitable for movies would not be reflecting the realities of modern day society - especially British movies.
I am also in love with certain parts of America - but I have never been there. Particularly Arizona; something about the colour of the landscape makes it look otherworldly. One of my screenplays is based there.
