Dreams, identity and high-pressure academics clash in this homegrown comedy when a selective school student's ambition to be the next Nicole Kidman is at odds with the expectations of her religious Indian family. This clip establishes the series' delightfully glib tone, which captures the intersections of culture.
Reflecting the experience of second-gen kids, this nuanced exchange between Urvi and her parents encompasses a suite of tensions: between tradition and contemporary life, parent and child, responsibility and idealism, Indian and Indian-Australian. But there's also a lightness to the dialogue, which reflects the relatable, casual ease within family units. Though Urvi's passion for the stage may exasperate her strict parents, the clip offers a full picture of multicultural Australian life, where pressure exists alongside comfort.
Commissioned as part of the ABC and Screen Australia’s Fresh Blood initiative, comedian Urvi Majumdar adapted her stand-up show into a web series, playing a version of her teenage self and creating Australia's first TV comedy with an all-South Asian writers' room.
