This is the real reason we watch “New Girl.” Seems like we’re not alone as Esquire features the enchanting actress and former model in its latest Me and My Place photo essay.

On the series and in real life, Simone is considered Indian. But for the record, her father is Indian and her mother is half German-Italian and half Greek-Cypriot. She spent her early childhood in Calgary, Alberta, but has lived since the age of 7 in such countries as Saudi Arabia, Cyprus, India and England.
