Dreaming in Canadian: South Asian Youth, Bollywood and Belonging

[para. 1]: "At  a  recent  Toronto  red  carpet  event,  Bollywood  megastar,  Shahrukh  Khan  answered  questions  for an intimate crowd of awestruck fans. The questions, shouted out by audience members, came mostly  from  second  generation  South  Asians  who  had  grown  up  with  Shahrukh  Khan’s  films.  Questions  took  the  form  of  gushing  praise—as  individuals  from  the  South  Asian  Diaspora  struggled  with  ways  to  express  their  gratitude:  “You  have  meant  so  much  to  me—growing  up here [in Canada]”,  said one woman. “Will you please say a line, any line from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai  (1998)?  It’s  a  movie  that  has  impacted  me  so  much.  I  cannot  even  express  how  much:  It  changed my life”."
