Idk why people are dragging it! She clearly said that she likes Korean People's LOOKS and he does have a clear resemblance! Can't we say Pratik you look like Cha Eun-woo! Then no would've said anything!!!... Everyone tells Nina Dobrev she is doppelganger of Victoria Justice so are people like degrading Bulgarian Beauty there!! and Daniel Radcliffe looks like Elijah Wood so whatttt!!! How is that Racist.

Don't just go on words please you guys...Racist is when you are antagonizing some ethnicity or race and clearly that was not the intention.

A lot of actors watch K dramas

Kpop keeping on trending in India

Pratik should take it as a compliment

He is ass btw

Even I don't think so it's a big deal coz if someone looking like Hollywood star , n you said to him you are looking like Hollywood actor , it's a compliment....

Also I thought she said that because he was wearing that stuff that resemble very much to KDrama actor dresses....

Even when she said that... I was like yeah she is correct , he was actually giving me that KDrama vibes

Yeah I know but I thought different understanding in different countries. Here if we say you look like korean or kdrama actor, it's like he has that look that's it. I have been called Indian, Pakistani, Moroccan, Algerian, French, it's just an origin right. I would have minded if I have been called with specific names of the origins. Korean is Korean, it's not like she called him slanted eyes guy or yellow guy. 🤔

Yeah I know many would take this as a compliment.

She clearly said that he has a Korean vibe. It was said as a compliment and KJo seconded her too. It wasn’t racist imo.

The reason she didn’t choose him is because he snapped and took offence. If someone’s going to snap on you within minutes of meeting, why would you even talk let alone choose that person to spend 6 weeks?

if any1 kpop shud take offence lmao

She said she's getting a Korean vibe from Prateek. ISn't that racist? I thought it was in a very bad taste and Prateek called it out rightly. How dumb can you be to call someone Korean on an Indian show? Already she was acting all fake and filmy with her OTT expressions and then this.... She will NOT be in my like list for sure.

She was referring to his style she didn't call him Korean in case you didn't realise. There are quite a lot of Indians especially women influenced by the kdramas and kpop who later go on to imitate them in case you didn't know. So no she was not being racist.

The only "racist" thing Shamita did was comparing a moron like Pratik to the well behaved Koreans! Koreans should definitely take offense to that.

So true, she lowered the standards of Korean people by comparing them to a jerk who is just full of himself to them.

Cuz she said that because of his facial features. The same way how north east people get called different names like chinki etc.

When Hrithik gets called a Greek God is that also racist or a compliment? She was complimenting him although i don't recall her bringing up his facial features because if you ask me no, he doesn't look Korean at all.
