Pluribus NRI Character Sparks Backlash

Pluribus NRI Character Sparks Backlash

There's a new show called Pluribus that's really popular.

It's about a world where everyone is always happy, and it's made by the same person who created Breaking Bad.

In one episode, there's a character who's supposed to be an NRI (Indian living abroad) who speaks Hindi, but a lot of Indian viewers didn't like how she spoke.

They thought her Hindi was really bad and that the actors and creators didn't put much effort into making it sound right.

Some people even joked that the show is 'Breaking Hindi' instead of 'Breaking Bad'.

The show is on Apple TV and has nine episodes in its first season, with more seasons planned.
