My agency also said that your name is very western, how will your work go here with this name. Not only this, people even talked about darling my eyebrows. Many such strange things were said to me, but I felt the worst when I was in traditional Indian clothes in Diwali party. Then after seeing me, three of my actors friends said, ‘No matter how much you are Indian.
