Interview with Reena Dutt of “The Real Girl’s Guide to Everything Else”

09/21/2010- by Natasia Langfelder

NPR heralds the queer friendly webseries, “The Real Girl’s Guide to Everything Else” as the nuevo “Sex and the City.”

The Real Girl’s focuses on engaged lesbian Rasha and her trio of wacky friends, Vanna, Angie and Sydney. Rasha relies on her friends to help her with a chick lit book she must write in order to keep her career thriving. Reena Dutt plays Sydney, the most outgoing character of the Real Girls ensemble. In every scene she is in, there is no telling what Sydney will do to provoke a reaction from her friends or get a laugh from the viewers. Reena is also an Associate Producer on Real Girls and has appeared on many primetime television shows such as “Criminal Minds,” “Medium,” and “Out of Practice.”

LGR:      Sydney is the most outgoing character on the show. Are there any similarities between you and her? i.e., would flash your giney to your friends?

REENA: My giney stays hidden in the bush down-under.  He’s also an Aussie.  So with that comes a lot of beer-drinking, and with that comes a brash and blunt R-Du.  So, yes, I am very similar to Sydney…in general (insert uncomfortable clearing-of-throat here)

LGR:      As an Indian American actress in the comedy genre, do you get compared to Mindy Kaling often and what will you do to the next person who asks you this question?

REENA: Whoah! I WISH!!! That would be most amazing.  And I would make out with the *first* person who asks me that…

LGR:      Have you figure skating abilities ever come in handy while you are acting?

REENA: Only when shooting horror movies. Funny thing – almost every figure skating movie’s character breakdown is Caucasian only! I guess Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan had a huge impact on the industry.

LGR:      There is some tension between Angie and Sydney, because they are so opposite. Do you think they will end up fighting or making out in season 2? 

REENA: Both, in that order. But only after Sydney gets her kicks mocking her best friend
