"each one of you should also be offended because it's not just ignorance but also racism. Two people of similar colour are not the same people. So, you as fellow Indians should be calling them out and educating them. Instead of encouraging it, you should be educating them"

Talk about false equivalence. A random person and media outlets whose job is to fact-check are highly different. Knowing how often south Asian or other ethnic actors get mistaken for each other, it's a deliberate pattern that has roots in racism.

They all look the same after cheek and lip fillers. Walk down the streets of Beverly Hills and you'll see. So I don't blame the guy.

thank you! i don't understand how people think its OK to make light of these incidents.

as for Nargis and Katrina, it could be a simple case of misidentification given that both are botoxed.
