Washington’s extraordinary India story

Kerry Washington travelled to India to learn traditional Indian martial arts and yoga, and says her experience in the country was extraordinary. The "Scandal" actress talked about her stay in the country during her appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show".

“I am certified in yoga teaching. I went to India after college, and studied. I lived there for about seven months in total, but only three months was studying and then I travelled around."

The "Django Unchained" actress added: " I wanted to travel somewhere and study culture and art and I was choosing between, India and Japan. But, I'm allergic to sesame seeds and sea food, so everybody was like, what are you going to eat in Japan? So, I went to India."
