“Royal Pains” Reshma Shetty Proud To Break Cultural Barriers

GalleyCat contributor Jeff Rivera has a new beat, meeting with stars around New York City to chat about their work and their lives in the city for FishbowlNY. He recently met with actress Reshma Shetty, who stars as Divya Katdare in the summer television sensation “Royal Pains,” at New York’s West African-French fusion restaurant Zereoue.

Shetty talks about her work as an actress of Indian descent, and how her role on “Royal Pains” has given her the opportunity to show an American audience a character with a different type of ethnicity. She said working as one of the few Indian actress on television gives her “a hope for the future.”
