Lilly Singh is making strides in the entertainment industry, recently appearing in the American comedy show Deli Boys 2. She feels honored to be part of the show, which she considers a dream project. Singh believes that the show's portrayal of brown characters is significant, as it breaks away from traditional stereotypes. In the past, brown characters were often depicted as smart, strict, and straight-laced, but Deli Boys 2 offers a refreshing change with its messy and problematic characters.
Singh reflects on her own experiences growing up without seeing brown representation in Western media. She had to rely on Hindi cinema for her only exposure to brown characters. However, she notes that things are changing, and people growing up now can see themselves on screen, which broadens what's possible for them.
Interestingly, Singh shares that people often compare her to Will Smith and Shah Rukh Khan, citing her facial expressions and comedy style. She wonders how her life would have been different if someone like her was on screen when she was growing up.
