Actor Nimrat Kaur made her Hollywood debut in 2014 with the fourth season of the TV series, Homeland. After landing another series, Wayward Pines, and the eighth season of Homeland, she will now appear in the second season of the web series, Foundation: “It’s a science fiction show, a genre I haven’t attempted before. It’s surreal and otherworldly. Sci-fi has always fascinated me. I’m elated to be partaking in something like this.”

Quiz her if she has adapted to the working culture of the West and the 40-year-old says, “I think one can never get used to how Hollywood functions, because each time you work abroad, it’s a different kettle of fish, in terms of the subject or country you’re shooting in.”

But she hopes that Hollywood is more acquainted with her skill set now. She says, “As you work more and more, you get new projects by word of mouth. Sometimes, the people you’ve worked with want you in a project. A reason why Foundation came to me is because I’d worked with the director in Homeland.”

The Airlift (2016) actor hails the film industry of the West for meting out equal treatment to everyone. “There’s a lot of dignity of labour abroad, which is impressive. Timelines are followed in a particular manner. As for us (Bollywood), we unfortunately don’t have their kind of scale, but we’re getting there,” Kaur concludes.
