My mom pushed me to take drama class.
Filming in India was one big adventure. For 'The Cheetah Girls', we were in Mumbai for two weeks, then Rajasthan for six weeks. Every day after shooting, I would hop into a rickshaw and start exploring the city. I even learned a bit of Hindi. It's such an amazing place to visit.
I'm a first-generation American, so I had friends from several cultures while growing up, including Indian and Iranian friends.
I've always been huge into martial arts.
My first car was a 1986 Toyota pickup.
