ZocaloPublicSquare反问Sheetal和Shamim
我的热情果然还在持续着么~
最近又遇到了Lisa说过她喜欢的一句话:
"life is what happens when you're busy making other plans"
John Lennon的这句话似乎是透着希望但又很无奈
如果lisa也参加访问的话
三个人都会选择一样的答案:)
Sheetal Sheth

Sheetal Sheth isn’t an ABCD — that’s American-born confused desi — even if she played one in the movies. The Jersey girl told the crowd at Zócalo that she prefers not to think of herself as South Asian American, but simply as an actress (and though she didn’t mention it, we will — a Tisch-educated actress). We asked her for a few more details.
Sheetal Sheth不是美国人 – 这是在美国出生的她会有的困扰 – 即使她在电影中扮演了一个有着同样身份差异的人。Sheetal通过Zócalo告诉大家她更喜欢视自己为一个演员,而不是定位在南亚美国人(另外,尽管Sheetal自己没有提到,但她是一个受过正统训练的演员)。以下是访问细节。
