Have to hand it to our girls. They impress the shit out of Americans. 😆 DP, Ash and PC.

As for fanbases, they truly haven't seen rabid yet. TV people seem to have much more rabid fanbases IMO.

I don't like DP's accent and have bitched about it here, but even I would cry racism so fast, their head would spin. People are very sensitive about accents especially in today's US.

Kanal nuyar also speaks with a distinct South Indian accent. It is hardly a hindrance to his career. Majority of people settling abroad are from South. So deepika's accent might not be problematic in the West. But anyways if people can watch wannabe accent wala 2.5 seasons of Quantico then they shouldn't have problems with dp

I am American desi, even I can't understand DP sometimes. YMMV.

Audrey Hepburn doesn't have anything on Deepika, pffft...LOL jokes. Hepburn is an
immortal legend. As much as I like Deepika I don't know if she can compare.

Same. Deepika and Kangana are hard to understand when they speak English. Kangana is hard to understand even when she's speaking Hindi. I can't blame them for their natural accents but those kind of heavy accents are not viable for an actor in HW. DP's accent is the type people make fun of in the US, right or wrong.

Kunal Nayyar has a delhi accent and I think he overdoes it for Big Bang because he sounds a little different on talk shows. In that case, they were looking for a stereotypical nerdy Indian guy that you would see coming fresh off the boat in American universities. Even for Kunal, it would be difficult to get other leading roles after Big Bang unless he's good with changing his accent.
