I think she is beautiful. Omg I love her skin tone.
She looks Spanish or Italian not Indian that much
I think she does look Indian.Not every Indian is going to look the exact same.
Of course they are not. People on this site are insane in the membrane.
She’s like the whitest Tamil Indian ever !!!! She looks like she’s latino or maybe even southern european !
That is because Indians from India are part of the Caucasian race.
I DON’T THINK SO!!!! .
