Priyanka featured in NYT article

Topic: What It's Really Like to Work in Hollywood*

(*If you're not a straight white man.)

Features some really big names in HW.

But what Mindy had to say was really, really thought provoking.

Has anyone read her book?

My role is not just artist. It's also activist because of the way I look. On so many shows and movies, race was a gesture, and in mine it's the premise. I can't ignore that what a lot of people see is an Indian woman who doesn't look like a Bollywood star. It piques their interest, and they're not bad for wanting me to tell stories about it, and I'm not wrong for not wanting to. I want to fill my desire to write vibrant, flawed characters, but then also be a role model to young people. It's stuff that I think about all the time. Some people don't have to think about this at all.
