Chopra shared a screenshot from the show featuring British Indian actresses Simone Ashley and Charithra Chandran, who portrayed the Indian family of 'The Sharma', and said she' thrilled to see more and more "desi" (Indian) representation in Western movies and series.
"I have to say, it's so wonderful to see desi representation on mainstream TV. It was such an anomaly when I started. Love the show and the Sharma sisters."
