Thai Actors Apologise After ‘Bollywood Hero’ Game Show Backlash

Thai actors Fourth Nattawat and Gemini Norawit took part in a guessing game on a television show.

Fourth was blindfolded and tried to guess the words “Bollywood Hero” from clues.

While guessing, he made big gestures and sang a Bollywood song.

Gemini laughed and clapped during the game.

Some Indian viewers felt the performance made fun of their culture and used stereotypes.

Fourth said he did not mean to mock any race or culture.

He apologised, especially to Indian fans, and said he would learn from the incident.

Gemini also later apologised.
