TIL Desk Bollywood/ Actress Priyanka Chopra says “huge stereotypes” still exist in the west about the Indian film industry and it will take more actors from India in mainstream parts to gradually break such long-held notions.
“There are huge stereotypes about India, about Hindi films. There is a lot more awareness now that Hindi movies are such a big industry but the stereotypes still exist,” Priyanka told.
The “Quantico” star says people expect Indian actors to not know English, even not know acting and just expect them to get up and dance.
“Those are stereotypes you have to fight all the time and I guess it will only come with educating people and having them see Indian actors in mainstream parts, (to make them aware) that we can do this. There is no putting us in a box.
