NRI portrayals

Why are NRI stereotyped and shown to be so evil and petty?? Jay’s mom saying she only eats sautéed vegetables and grilled chicken, alkaline water, etc. that’s so lame!! No NRI does that, I’m sure there are exceptions. But being an NRI myself, I love our desi food!! I was born an brought up in India but moved to U.S. as a young teen. We are DEFINITELY NOT like how we are portrayed in Indian shows or movies!! These writers I tell you!! Need to get out of their books and actually do REAL WORLD research before sketching characters!!! 😤😤😠😠

Most NRIs are very well behaved. My own mother is one. But I do remember some NRI aunties throwing tantrums at family occasions during the 80s. They were constantly requesting cutlery and making a fuss.The women of the family hosting the party were exhausted after getting up at dawn and making all the dishes themselves. Why would you need fancy cutlery for eating rice? And these ladies were all born and brought up in India. They all went abroad post marriage.

True the behaviour is clichéd only for the NRIs in serials and movies, us real NRIs had to literally work our backs off to pay the bills and mortgages

I agree staying out of India causes compromised immunity, makes more conscious about meals and portions. But alkaline water, sautéed veggies 😞 sorry I make daal, roti, chawal, sabzi 3 times a day even on a freezing Monday morning
