What exactly are you asking? If we think she's a good role model or if there are South Asians who look up to her as a role model?

I'm sure there are there are South Asian women (and men) that look up to her. She's ambitious, a hard worker and has accomplished plenty.

As for me, I don't look up to celebrities as role models. There's just there.

No. She obviously isn't comfortable in her own skin or proud of her Indian heritage. She's had a nose job and wears colored contacts to make herself look less Indian. Not a role model.

Having a nose job makes one a bad role model? Plastic surgery is common among celebrities and getting one doesn't make her look less Indian. You said on the "Quantico" board that she doesn't look, but that's a joke. She looks clearly South Asian.

Trying to make yourself more Eurocentric just because you think you'll get more roles in Hollywood means you are basically snubbing your own heritage. If she were a good role model, she'd embrace her heritage and have the tenacity to succeed in her endeavors without selling out.

It has nothing to do pandering to western people.

Ugh. I'm blocking you. You are so annoying and repetitive and obviously can't have an intellectual, honest conversation with others. You are just not smart enough for debates. You clearly have an issue with 'westerners' as well.

Problem though, .... She can't act.
