Lin Laishram, who hails from Manipur, gets candid on North Eastern representation in Bollywood. Laishram maintains that she’s experienced racism within the industry on several occasions. One is approached to play stereotypical roles like a spa girl, prostitute or a waiter. Not that playing these characters demeans an actor but it's how we are seen and typecast. Its little knowledge about our culture that bothers us, she said.
