Zoya Akhtar on The Archies criticism
The teaser for the film dropped at the Netflix global fan event TUDUM in Sao Paulo, Brazil, earlier this year. βWhy do you think that? They're all Indian. This is kind of reverse (racism). Are you saying fair Indians are not Indians? How do we define what an Indian looks like? It could be Hrithik Roshan, it could be Mr. Rajinikanth, it could be Diljit Dosanjh, it could be Mary Kom. That's the beauty of India. There are a lot of Indians that are light-skinned,β Zoya said in an interview to Mid-Day at TUDUM.
