Netizens slammed Shehzada in the comment section saying, “Why is he being racist towards her? Yesterday he was making fun of her name and now this?” Another social media user wrote, “In yesterday’s episode, they were trying to make fun of her name when Chum came..that guy even had the guts to ask is she Nepali? But Chum gave back very well. Proud of her. Here they are talking about some chutney, tumhare wahan se hai kya? I’m sure they must be talking about something related to degrading Northeastern only.” Well, Chum has the right to get irritated. Northeast Indians are often bullied for the way they look and their cuisine. Aren’t we aware that our country is diverse? It consists of various types of cuisine, people, clothes, and more! Furthermore, actors need to be held accountable for such remarks.
