Archived from the original on 15 March Retrieved 30 March I remember watching a video during the early days of Covid where a big chunk of the Kolkata-Chinese community, in anticipation of a backlash, hit the streets with banners that said "We are with India", "Don't hate us" etc.

It was bittersweet, funny and ironic that it had to be done at all. On expected lines, a journalist covering the march tried his best to get sensational sound bites by asking misleading, incendiary questions. Thankfully, they did not take the toxic bait. I remember laughing at the ridiculousness of it all. And when the Indian and Chinese forces clashed at the border, the abuse went up a notch.

As an actor I'm generally approached to play Chinese or North-eastern characters, for which I'm grateful as some great roles have happened that way Badmaash Company , Detective Byomkesh Bakshy , Untag , However, I'm probably not the first person who comes to mind for ethnicity-agnostic characters.
