Overview
- In an India Today interview published Oct. 30, Sweta Keswani said Priyanka Chopra is "only helping herself" rather than supporting other South Asians in Hollywood.
- Keswani contrasted Chopra with Mindy Kaling, crediting Kaling for writing and producing projects that create opportunities for South Asian talent.
- Hindustan Times, News18, Times Now, and other entertainment outlets republished the remarks, and neither Chopra nor Kaling has publicly commented in the cited coverage.
- Keswani described insular "cliques" within the South Asian entertainment diaspora in the U.S. and said she is not part of those circles.
- The reports contextualize Chopra’s career with recent and upcoming work, including Citadel Season 2, The Bluff, and SS Rajamouli’s tentatively titled GlobeTrotter, while noting Keswani’s own producing project Tabassum.
