![]() I feel like in London, the experience is very different. I agree with the fans, but I'm also like, "Let's also celebrate a little bit of what's happening." But I get it because being specific is important. You give, and then there'll still be criticism. So if they had come to me and asked me about that, I could have been like, "Oh." But then, to give them some credit, it's amazing they gave a whole episode to Diwali. It's so interesting about the sari line because I didn't even know if it was in the script initially because we didn't know if I would wear it or what I would wear. What did you make of the backlash to the mix-up of traditional wear? Carrie went on to wear a lehenga at the celebrations. In one scene, Seema and Carrie went sari shopping for Diwali while at an Indianwear shop that only had lehengas out on display. She doesn't like to waste time in her life on neurosis. So with Seema, there's something about her as a businesswoman that sees stress as not useful. You relate that to when you're 18! When you are South Asian or from whatever culture involving tradition and negotiating with parents, we don't know our strength because it's stressful, right? Figuring out, "Oh my God, I had just lied to them, etc." Those things are stressful, but it seems like you're just navigating the easier way to someone else. Do you think she's so headstrong due to a lifetime of navigating cultural pressures? Your character is a feisty, successful Indian-American woman trying to keep her traditional parents happy by lying about a boyfriend.
