What's the story
Actor Sweta Keswani, based in the US for over a decade, criticized Priyanka Chopra Jonas for not doing enough to support South Asian artists. She told India Today, "I think it's incredible what Chopra Jonas has accomplished..." "But she's not Mindy Kaling. She's not helping other South Asians. She's only helping herself to be very honest." "What Kaling does is amazing because she's actually writing, producing, and helping other South Asians to break through in the business."
Social dynamics
On South Asian community in Hollywood
Keswani also opened up about her observations of the South Asian entertainment community in the US. She said, "I feel that there are cliques just like everywhere."
