During a recent tell-all with a foreign-based outlet, Kaling spilt the details about the movie and the role of the Bollywood star in the title. On the ‘diverse representation of the Asian experience in her projects’, ‘The Office’ actor stated, “We’re really proud of it, we show South Asian Americans that are from Southern Indian. Then we show a Muslim Indian girl.”
“Culturally we see how they’re different from each other,” Kaling detailed. “Why would people necessarily know that if they don’t have shows that explain and explore that difference?”
“I have this movie with Priyanka Chopra, she’s Punjabi Indian from India,” Mindy Kaling revealed adding that she will be seen as ‘an Indian American Bengali girl from the East Coast’ in Hollywood rom-com.
“It’s so different and that’s what makes our dynamic so fun together.”
