My cousin went to prom with a sari and shes Indian. All the people where looking at her but there was a back turn to that story , she aced all her tests and was the smartest in science and maths and collected over 10 trophies. Every one was jealous and so shocked. Never judge a book by its cover ❤
@@fluffytail6355 I know right all the sari's I have seen are stunning we are Guyanese not Indian but she moved to new York 4 years ago so she wanted to have a little bit of an Indian cultural outfit
I like how she doesn't put down the "mean girl" and tries to have her embrace her culture a little bit more. Lot more wholesome than just being mean right back.
@@dv4975 Oh wow, I never considered that the structurally enforced, socially idealized, aggressively dominant culture of America might be getting neglected by immigrant families trying to retain their cultural identity! I mean, the Pledge of Allegiance isn't even required to be recited by every single student anymore! They just read it over the intercom! What's this country coming to /s
Bro I remember my friend went to prom with her sari and I just so happen to wear filipiniana. I was so proud for both of us to see each other wearing our traditional clothes 😭
I really love how her mean girl is someone of her own ethnicity. In my experience, the ppl who perpetuate white hegemony and supremacy the most and give a hard time to POCs of foreign culture are often POCs with the same background.
@@thedirectionerish8862 well, I'll give you my honest opinion. i used to live in an area concentrated with asians, from both the east and south of Asia. however, there were barely any Americans. as such, i lived in a very protected bubble, with all my friends being Indian and east asian. we all shared similar ideals in life and family, so we got along well. I recently moved to an area in which Americans predominate, and asians (south and east) are a minority. it has been hard for me to adjust, although i hsve not faced any racism. my neighbors do not seem to like us. it's been different to try and become friends with Americans, because they share different ideals. I used to sit alone at lunch for a long time. Now, i do have some American friends, and i get along with them well, but i still have a while to go until I'm able to fully find myself. I hope this answers your question thoroughly (lol) i have wanted to rant about this for a while
My brother-in-law married a woman who is originally from India. It was a Hindu service and we all wore the proper attire and it was the most magical event I have ever been to. Henna and jewels on our faces (fake) but the whole thing was beyond words. I was so touched by it all. I just love your music and all of your videos very much. You are not afraid to be yourself, and that is powerful and incredible. 🙏🏼
Let it go let it goo cant hold it back anymoree .. Here I stand here I stayy let the storm rage onnnn .. The cold never bother me anywayyyyy 🎉🎉🎉✨✨✨❤️❤️🐤🐤💯💯
I love the accent change in "Always work hard". Small nuances that add up to make such a piece of art! Besides that, the message about being true and confident in who you are was and is badly needed. Thank you Shuba.
@MINEWISE Fijian is an Austronesian language of the Malayo-Polynesian family spoken by some 350,000-450,000 ethnic Fijians as a native language. The 2013 Constitution established Fijian as an official language of Fiji, along with English and Fiji Hindi and there is discussion about establishing it as the "national language". {Your welcome have a good day 😊😊😊😊😊
Dude I’m not Indian but my mom and dad have 2 close Indian friends that are husband and wife. They are literally like a second set of parents to me coz they’ve known me for as long as my parents have. I call them Aunty and Uncle and they alwaysss call me to ask how I am and if I want any food. And if I was to ask for like chicken pasta or something they would bring 2 big pots of different chicken pastas, roti, samosas then a diff packet filled with snacks. Then when I say I’m full, My Aunty would dish up some more and I would just eat it coz it’s too good to resist 😭😭😭
“How else am I supposed to get an A make out with the jock in the back of the football stands” she ate on that line and left no crumbs shawty popped off
"And Indian food is fire are you crazy?" Me: Like, it is literally fire. But I LOVE THIS! As an Indian myself, I am so happy more Indian singers are getting into western music! Edit: damn 180 likes, didn't expect that 😂
I want to hang out with this woman. She seems like fun. Hard to find someone who genuinely confident enough to give zero fcuks about what people think. I likes that.
It feels good to see Indian like her 😌 She is becoming my Indian Icon 🥰 She carries her culture so well I hope the Indian youngsters who are embarrassing themselves in sns should learn something from you
@@champx1819 if you know about the racist filter which became quite trendy in india then the man who use to disguise as a woman..... few days ago I was watching a live on Insta where viewers were participating(face time) and an Indian girl was among them but she was unable to catch up with their conversation because it was a foreign language(better say a language she don't know) , a lot of viewers asked her for dropping but she remained their which only embarrassed her (she received hateful and criticizing comments). These things really gives me a second hand embarrassment as an Indian. But still there are lots of Youngsters(Indian) like Shuba 😌 who will make India proud.
On that note, here in Egypt (and in Sudan as well) we also use henna for coloring and strengthening our hair. But we use it most popularly in a tradition before marriage which is called a "henna day" or a "henna party". It's similar to a bachelorette party in a sense, and it is usually done a week or so before the wedding day. traditionally the bride gets all her bridal care (sugar waxing, masks, hair treatments, and her henna drawings) in the daytime and she parties with her female friends and family members in the evening. But recently most brides spread the "bridal care regimen" on multiple days before the wedding and leave the henna day for partying. But the bride still gets her "Na'sh el Henna" on her henna day (hence the name), which are henna designs drawn on different areas of the body similar to Indian henna but done with darker shades like brown or black not red. Also mentioning the saree, most Egyptian brides dress in many outfits during their henna party (multiple traditional Egyptian attires from different regions of Egypt, bellydance customs, pin up custom, Hawaiian clothes, a fancy dress, other Arabic customs and more) and many times brides wear a saree or a lehenga&choli as well, and usually dances to a bollywood gem with her girls. I felt the need to share this with my fellow Indians to show you that even if the west doesn't accept your culture just know that there are many places in the world that appreciates it and shares similarities with you as well so don't feel like an alien or like you're alone ❤️. (side note: Indian food is bomb tho I tried it many times and I loove the spice, also us Egyptians eat some of our traditional dishes with our hands as well as you guys!)
That's so interesting. We use henna for coloring hair in India as well. And we also have a henna ceremony a couple of days before the wedding. We also use henna on other festivals too as it is considered auspicious. And how do you ensure make sure that henna stays black on the hands? We prefer it black or dark brown too but usually it sets in a deep reddish brown colour.
Very interesting. But on the part about people wearing sarees and lehenga choli, is that kind of thing very famous in Egypt? I find it really cool and fascinating, but a little bit strange as well bc pakistanis wearing lehenga choli, saree and liking bollywood is still pretty normal bc they're our neighbors but Egypt is So damn FAR from India
