Born and raised in the US, never have I ever met such stereotypical and semi-caricaturish characters as the show portrays. Perhaps it caters to a teeny-bopper demographic, but nevertheless, it is dramatically OTT (over the top). I can confidently say our colour, culture and characters are ready to blend better than ever before, without having to hammer the bindis, murtis, accent and in your face desi-ism.
