New ABC Pilot: Lead Roles are Indian & American Pair

Looks like South Asians are making waves in entertainment again.  This time in an ABC comedy show which will FOCUS on an interracial couple who are young parents. The show will focus on Raj, go figure, (played by Ravi Patel) and Anna (played by Rachael Leigh Cook).  Our bet is the show will center around the cultural differences between the two.  Rumors are saying the title of the show is going to be "My Freakin Family."

We also look forward to all the stories of brown guys getting laid by white girls after this show airs.  Hooray for desi dudes everywhere (except NJ)!

Irrfan Khan, Bollywood's Top Export!

Irrfan Khan, an actor who you may recognize from movies like Slumdog Millionaire, Namesake (starring Kal Penn), or Darjeeling Limited, is a force to be reckoned with.  His recent portrayal of character Sunil in "In Treatment" on HBO has opened him up to a wider audience, the American Television market.  The truth is he's been acting for a very long time in popularized Bollywood cinema (since 1988 according to IMDB).  His ability to convey emotion and feeling through dialogue with the grace of a ballerina is winning hearts everywhere.  A simple search of twitter for "Irrfan Khan" easily shows that Irrfan Khan is becoming a household name for HBO viewers (shown below).
