Former Disney star Hilary Duff who most recently appeared on Hulu’s ‘How I Met Your Father’ is fascinated with Indian culture. The 34-year old says working with Indian actor Suraj Sharma on the sitcom gave her an opportunity to learn everything about the rich Indian culture and its vibrancy.
Speaking in an interview, she says, “Being friends with Suraj has opened our eyes a lot. I have never had the privilege of going to India but (after interacting with Sharma) I’m very intrigued to visit the country now.” Praising her co-star, she said Sharma brought a different level of energy to the sets of the show. She said, “I see that in just Suraj showing up to work every day. He is the one dancing in the trailer, pumping us all up when it’s like 6.30 in the morning. He is already the glass half full when I’m not always that way. It is really a breath of fresh air. And if that’s a representation of Indian culture and Indian people, then sign me up.”
Duff said, “I’m very fascinated by the culture. It just seems like people do have wide-open hearts, and that there is a lot of acceptance. People love to have a good time. It is colourful, there’s food and partying and celebrations. It seems like Indian culture really celebrates life.”
‘How I Met Your Father’ is a spin-off of the iconic sitcom ‘How I Met Your Mother’, and has created quite a buzz for featuring a diverse cast. It features Christopher Lowell, Francia Raise, Tom Ainsley, and Tien Tran, besides Duff and Sharma.
