At Austin Asian American Film Festival, Sujata Day tells her own story


Sujata Day reached the breaking point. 
There was a year during pilot season when all of the Indian American female roles were tied to some kind of arranged marriage plotline, she tells the American-Statesman over the phone last week. “I was just like, ‘Oh my god, I can t do this anymore,’ because me and my Indian American friends growing up, that s not something that we ever experienced with our parents or our families. Although there are some great movies and TV shows that have a plot line like that, it just doesn t have to be every single plot line.”
