I don't buy troll questions .. You claim to follow a "North Indian culture".. you mean Indo-Persian, don't you? ... can't you see, why your trolling won't work? I will never support invader cultures , since I belong to the ancient Dravidian race.
You do not even know what North Indian culture is, in fact you do not even know what Indian culture is. You are even confused about the terminology, so how can you have the audacity and naivety to pass a comment(s) on it.
You can live with these:
1. Dravidian Race.
2. Dravidian Culture.
And remain happy for all I care, since they are incorrect categorizations. But, please refrain from commenting about India, when you cannot answer simplistic questions about it.
Shut up and stay out of this thread with your "Dravidian" nonsense and Brahminphobia.

^ so carolina oliveira reminds you of amrita rao. well this is probably because Amrita rao also seem to be mixed eurasian looking as carolina olivera. funny for most people outside southasia, a mixed east asian looking person isn't even thought to exist in india(ignored or forgotten by mostly everyone). a more Asiatic looking bengali actress than comparing to amrita rao would be priyanka kothari.

Hey troll. you called your culture "North Indian culture".. that is total bullshit. I have just used the correct term for it , which is "Indo-Persian culture". There is no "North Indian culture", got it? You follow Persian culture for the most part.. silly troll

Mmmm...interesting analysis there. Thanks.
Honestly, I hardly find AR to be Eurasian in appearances. For me the nose is the biggest factor, and I find it quite Indid in appearance, or closely relative to the phenotypes available in India. PK on her own, has distinct looks though, but for me, AR is much much prettier and an ideal for -the- Indian gracefulness and femininity.

You just owned your self. Have fun living in your fantasy world. What you just wrote above is probably one of the stupidest things I have ever read here. Worse than what, Pakistani, even writes.

I don't care what you think about this.. i just thought you should know the reality too.. you deny AIT , you deny Indo-Persian culture, you deny yourself. time for self ban?
Anyways, I think why some of them might be mistaken as South Asian is they fit the stereotype of large eyes, shade of brown skin and straight black hair.

True that's why I said it's mostly triracial brazilians who sometimes are able to resemble southasians.

Really? It 's actually mostly her big almondy eyes which give me the desi vibe for Juliana Paes. I think they come close to looking like the stereotype big indian eyes, but might also be because of the makeup.
You might be right that she gets it from her westafrican ancestry but it might also be from her arab side.
Born in Rio Bonito, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Paes is of Arab, Black, and Amerindian ascent.[3]

I think Caminho das Indias really boosted india's image among mainstream brazilians, although the show was also (justly) critisized for stereotyping but that's inevitable with novela's
