I think Kamala’s character doesn’t seem to fit in terms of being South Indian more than Mohan’s mom.

Maybe one parent is north Indian.

Did we all know Paxton is 30 (!!!) in real life?!?!

I wondered how old the Pax actor was when I noted his many forehead lines.

Woohoo! Now I don't feel as bad for thinking he's hot

Me too! lol.

Ramona Young is 28 in real life.

She's 23

No she isn’t. She lied about her age. She graduated from college in 2012.

Oh snap you’re right.

I tried to watch it but couldn’t get into it, might have to try again bc I have heard such good things.

You have to watch a few episodes. It really is brilliant and captures that time of life - the extremes of emotion, the confusion the embarrassment so so well!

I’m South Indian. Skin tones in my family go from dark to light, and no one is North Indian, at least not in recent generations. I don’t think it’s unrealistic. I do find the accents unrealistic. I bet the actors are Indian-American and doing Indian accents. The mom does a good job of it but Kamala and her boyfriend do not, IMO.

Paxton looks very old to me. I don’t care because I love this show so much.

I love this show! I think it’s so perfect. Characters are funny, genuine, complex and great actors too.

Both Kamala and Mohan's mom don't fit very well. Devi slightly above average looking, and tall pale Kamala looks like she was a contestant for Miss India. Even Devi's mom is taller and paler than one would expect, but she's a very good actress in this role, so I accept her. Kamala overacts.

What idiotic generalizations. Not all South Indians are dark and short and not all North Indians are pale. I’m South Indian and everyone in my immediate and extended family is the same color as Kamala or lighter and most of us are tall. Devi is v. pretty as are many dark skinned South Indian women. You sound like a disgusting colorist with your bs passive aggressive remarks.

It’s not just the skin tone.

So much nitpicking! Gosh. The show is hilarious and the cast is wonderful! We crack up & cringe every episode.

That’s because he is a 30 year old man playing a high school kid.

I read an interview with the woman who plays Kamala. She is part S Indian and is born in America but worked with a dialect coach on the accent. I agree hers and the boyfriend’s are a little overdone.

Agree 💯. People heard this or had an Indian friend who told them this and are running with it. They have no idea.

Wrong. I am a South Indian and I think the predominance of light skin Indians on the show (Devi and Mohan excepted) is depressing. But I guess those are the South Asian actors that succeed in India and the USA.
