"It's only in the past 10 years or so I've really been able to truly embrace my heritage. So much of this show is my story and in telling it honestly, I hope others from all different backgrounds will relate."
Parminder Nagra, who plays Rachita Ray, also spoke about how the show highlights the issue of racism and recounted her own experience."It's those subtleties that we probably haven't seen much of on TV, I can't think of any examples off the top of my head, I don't think we've seen a lot of what happens day today," she said.
"The other day I went somewhere for work, I'd been there four times and the person still kept misspelling my name. It was just like 'Come on man, again!' "Rachita has a moment when her lanyard gets mixed up, and she is given somebody else's. She's like, 'You can see it's not me, if you just looked closely'. I can't think of anywhere we've actually seen that represented on TV.
