in reality ,especially in overseas most of indian people are taxi driver, security guard, cleaner, kitchenhand , cook etc . They do all these odd jobs . Therefore hollywood movie also show them in their movies with weird accent.


You don't get my post. All these jobs are jobs and I have personally done some of them so there is nothing to look down at. But it is about showing the same thing over and over and over. But in almost every movie I've seen they always show some short guy speaking with a lisp and that is your typical Nepali image as per bollywood. But all the Nepalese I bumped into speak excellent hindi with no accent.

But I agree with its stereotyping. Heck they show Manipal and Assam people as Chinese.

There is a stereotype everywhere ,dude.

I think that movie upparwalu or gharwali with Anil Kapoor stereotype the most.

Dude, I am working my way to be a drug researcher so we are not all like that yes. I speak Hindi with an American accent , so yes we all do not fit the bill. Which ethnicity does not Bollywood stereotype though?
