[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The weird Indian accent in Hollywood on Indian characters. NO ONE talks like that IRL. The weird mix of south Indian and North Indian accent which passes for an Indian accent. There is nothing called an Indian accent. You have only regional accent - Punjabi, Bengali, Tamil, Kannada, Marathi etc. Also, how is that they do not have any knowledgable Indians on set who can give proper names to Indian characters instead of Parminder Khan and Ramarao Singh. Uff![/quote] I always wonder why the actors themselves don’t say anything. It doesn’t have to be really accurate (like specific names from specific parts of India), but in the examples you give, they’re inadvertently giving the character a backstory (mixed religion). In Master of None, the character’s name is Dev and he’s Muslim. Last name Shah could be Hindu or Muslim. Aziz Ansari made those decisions, I assume, but he should have talked to someone who knew better. [/quote]
