Referring to her latest release, The Matrix Resurrections, she noted that it takes time for people to develop confidence a star.
"I have been working for almost seven years (in Hollywood)," she said.
"It's very exciting to be trusted with a movie like The Matrix Resurrections." Especially a few of us South Asians, like Mindy Kaling, Aziz Ansari, Hasan Minhaj and Riz Ahmed, where we have pushed the envelope, where the door has been kicked open and we have demanded a seat on the table."
The fourth film it the Matrix franchise has been directed by Lana Wachowski and features Keanu Reeves, Carrie Anne-Moss and Jada. She also has roles in Citadel and Text For You on Amazon.
