PLAN A
It’s a wrap for the shoot and our cover girl slips into something comfortable—a black breezy bandhini cape from Mukherjee’s 20th-anniversary show. I ride back to Manhattan with her as Diana settles onto her lap. “For me home is wherever I’m happy, as long as I have the people I love around me.” Her next stop is Los Angeles, a city she sees as a longterm option for her and Jonas. “I have homes in Mumbai and New York, which are very vertical cities. LA is more horizontal,” she says, tempted with the idea of a pool and backyard. The ocean and weather remind her of Mumbai, too. “Buying a home and having a baby are on my to-do list.”
The Friday evening traffic across the bridge is slow but we catch a glimpse of Manhattan’s skyline as we pass a billboard of HBO’s Big Little Lies. “I still haven’t seen the second season yet, have you?” she asks. Her days off are saved for television and she’s been binge-watching The Office. “I just love the straight-faced comedy and really admire Mindy Kaling as a writer.” It was while she was developing ideas for her production company, Purple Pebble Pictures, that she decided to give Kaling a call and meet up for lunch. Two hours and two movie ideas later, the duo were well on their way to working together. In April their pitch for a wedding comedy was picked up by Universal Pictures. Kaling will costar with Chopra Jonas and co-write with Dan Goor (of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Parks And Recreation fame). “The story basically came from my wedding, where a bunch of Americans were exposed to this grandiose palace—the food, the family, the culture, the clothes and the comedy that comes with it,” she says. She is also proud to add that it’s an all-South Asian star cast, a minority she hopes to see more of in global pop culture.
