Luckily, 'Rakta Charitra' did well in the South and I started getting a lot offers from the Tamil and Telegu film industry.
After graduating, I began auditioning for films while continuing to model. I did a few fashion shows, ad shoots, and even got a few Bollywood offers, but nothing great.
I'm the one who started redevelopment in South Los Angeles, not Jan Perry. I did it. I love Jan. She's a good person, and she did a wonderful job with what she did downtown, but in L.A., South L.A., I'm the one.
A few months after graduation I was working in films. It took off pretty quick.
Well, when I started modeling in the mid-'80s, the girls who did shows did shows, and the girls who did magazines did magazines. That's what was understood.
I did tell the census man I was white, and I'm telling you, I started getting offers for the black American Express card in the mail.
I started modeling when I was about 2 or 3 years old; I started with Baby Guess, and I did Guess Kids, and that was the extent of my modeling career as a kid. I took all of my elementary, middle and high school years off to focus on school and sports.
I have been getting some offers of films. But more than films, I have been getting offers for serials which I have obviously declined.
When I was crowned the college queen, I got a lot of modeling offers and I did a fair amount of work in Delhi.
I did some modeling here and there but nothing really big. There was a time when I simply bummed around, waiting for offers.
I did some theatre. I had some smaller roles in a couple TV shows and films. I used to think I did a lot of acting, but my 'career' started when I started 'Homeland'.

When I started in film, I was living and working in Asia, and when we did films there, it was so fast. It was much like TV.
As part of modeling, I have acted in the advertisement films of popular brands. Then I got some offers from films.
Not that I was not getting offers, the big banners might not come but there was still an influx of offers but you know, my growth as an actor was stagnant. I did not want to do the same thing.
The moment I said I am open to doing films, I started getting a lot of offers.
