| | |  Fan conducted interview with Shefali Chowdhury (Parvati Patil)
Mischa aka HPChick4Life recently wrote to Shefali Chowdhury (Parvati Patil) - the actress replied with answers to the questions that had been put to her. You can view scans of the letter here and here.
Below is a transcript: Quote: When and where were you born?
Shefali: I was born in Wales on 20 June 1988. A place called Denbeigh [U.K.]. I have good but little memories of that place. I moved to Birmingham [England] when I was six. What are your favorite hobbies?
Shefali: Anything that gives me a rush! I love watching movies also and listening to music. I also write screenplays. What do you do for fun?
Shefali: Currently I am learning how to play the guitar. It's been something I've wanted to do for years. Next is bungee jumping! What type of music do you listen to?
Shefali: The Stokes, Joseph Arthur, Jeff Buckley, The Cars, Bright Eyes, Arcade Fire, The Kinks, The Velvet Underground, and many more. What's your favorite movie?
Shefali: Too many to mention. Among the many are: 'The Shawshank Redemption', 'My Own Private Idaho', 'Thelma & Louise', 'Fight Club' Great movies! If you could meet anyone back in time that was famous, who would it be?
Shefali: I have so many answers for this! Most of the people I love are dead! (I'm not a creepy necrophiliac, they just happen to have passed away!) River Phoenix, James Dean, the list goes on. Who would you like to meet that is famous now?
Shefali: Tough question. Truthfully I wouldn't like to meet anyone I really admire; Sometimes illusions are shattered of the kind of person you expect them to be and who they actually are. What's your favorite gadget?
Shefali: Does my [mobile] phone count as a gadget? Coz I can't live without it, which consequently makes it my favourite. What was it like for you playing Parvati? Would you say that you relate to her? Or are you different?
Shefali: It was fun playing someone drastically different frmo my own character! I think everything Parvati is, I would be the completel opposite. I'm less giggly  .. but slightly CRAZIER. Do you agree that Hollywood needs a taste of the Indian culture?
Shefali: Ooh definitely. Especially if it means getting me in there! Yeah, I agree Hollywood needs a good kick up the *** concerning Indian actors and actresses. Eventually I believe there will be an increase in Asian actors. It's inevitable for movies would not be reflecting the realities of modern day society - especially British movies.
I am also in love with certain parts of America - but I have never been there. Particularly Arizona; something about the colour of the landscape makes it look otherworldly. One of my screenplays is based there.
(Our spelling is American while Shefali's is British)

"Who would you like to meet that is famous now?
Shefali: Tough question. Truthfully I wouldn't like to meet anyone I really admire; Sometimes illusions are shattered of the kind of person you expect them to be and who they actually are."
Wonder if she was refering to anyone in particular there? I mean she has experienced this first hand hasn't she?
