"In India when you tell a story you always add a little masala," says Sudha Pradeep, a Gujarati surgeon and mother of three, in the upcoming Amazon Prime show The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh. "This is America, here we like our stories plain," replies a cop questioning the eponymous family for an incident in which they are suspects. The Vijal Patel-created show follows the adventures of the family as they try to adapt to a whole new world. Partly inspired by Patel's family's experience moving to the US, the show stars British-Indian actor Naveen Andrews (best known for Lost) as Mahesh, the overtly optimistic patriarch who looks to excel in the "land of opportunity". For Andrews, the series offered him the rare opportunity to do a sitcom and also essay a character whose attitude amidst adversity is "something to aspire to".
