And so I was always...

struck by this power of storytelling or the influence of filming and TV.

And I had no idea that could be a job because that just was so far from anything I would even know existed.

But I always remembered that.

I did.

I did.

You know, I wanted to get into entertainment.

It was kind of this thing in the back of my mind always that I wanted to be in entertainment, but I didn't really know what that meant.

I knew I wasn't a writer or actor or director or any of those things.

I know I didn't have that skill.

And I was like, God, probably like high school, college.

It was a little bit like, and I kind of felt that I was a producer, but I didn't really know what that meant.

But I understood like, oh, maybe I could put the pieces together.

But I'm not any of the craft part of it.

And I didn't really know what any of that was as a job.

But I always, I was kind of drawn to what that would be.

And that was really, for an Indian girl, especially at that time, to go into Hollywood.

Like it really didn't make any sense.

It was unheard of, of what's the path.

People hadn't really done it.
