My mom pushed me to take drama class.

The CW likes to hold on to its shows.

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 love traveling it's, like, my perfect escape.

You never play age, you play character.

I'm a first-generation American, so I had friends from several cultures while growing up, including Indian and Iranian friends.

My first car was a 1986 Toyota pickup.

I love Shah Rukh Khan! I have seen many of his movies.
