Excellent article from The Scotsman on Meera Syal, one of the women behind Bombay Dreams, the author of Life Isn't All Ha Ha Hee Hee, and one of the high-rising Asian women creating a inclusive multicultural Britain.
Excerpts from the article:
In the 1990s she [Syal] turned to screenplays (Bhaji on the Beach) and novels, although the sharp analysis of the immigrant experience in her books was arguably overshadowed by the runaway success of Goodness Gracious Me. Now, though, there is another novel germinating at the back of her mind, another series of the Kumars in the pipeline and meaty acting roles in Bad Girls and The Bill coming up. |
