She never wanted to be an actress

PeeCee never dreamt of becoming an actress. About the same, she said, “I didn’t even know that acting could be a serious profession because I was that Indian girl who sits front bench, always knows the answer, comes first in class, honor student. And I wanted to be an aeronautical engineer. I wanted to study, I wanted to be in NASA, build planes. And it’s so ironic that I just literally live in one now.”
