Gurinder Chadha

I was a journalist when I made 'I'm British But...' I'd seen how important the media was in terms of defining Indians - after the riots in the '80s, I was like, 'Oh my God!'

As I grew up, I always refused to cook Indian food very vehemently, and to this day, I don't cook chapatis at home. I'd always say, 'Why do I have to do it? Why don't the men do it?'

My pregnancy was great, but the last three weeks were manic because my blood pressure was going up and up.

I'm thankful I don't have parents that I feel I need to get their attention. They've always been there for me.

Michelle Obama has gone from political skeptic to political partner to a woman with a White House agenda of her own, and an approval rating higher than the president's.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.
