Wishes SRK Were Her Dad - EXCLUSIVE Jessel Taank on stereotypes against Indians During a conversation with Zoom, Jessel said, "I was largely misunderstood in the beginning. I talk about it a lot that when you look at Indians, there's a very strong stereotype that surrounds us. We are doctors, and lawyers, and people don't think of us having any hardships ever.
We work so hard to get where we are. That's kind of where this whole misunderstanding stemmed from. I was trying to talk about where I came from, my background, my parents, and everyone on the cast thought I was fabricating this story, which is crazy to me.
I really had to prove myself." According to the 45-year-old, she had to make attempts at changing the perception. "I had to eradicate a lot of misconceptions.
So, I was playing defence a lot. But, at the end of the day, truth always prevails. As people got to know me, they realised she is everything she's saying she is," she added.
