'Do you ride elephants to school' to ‘how many Gods you have': Indian woman shares the strangest questions foreigners ask about India
Living abroad comes with its fair share of curiosity and confusion—especially when you're from India. Sheenam Gautam , now based in Germany, recently revealed on Instagram the amusing and often bizarre questions she encounters as an Indian abroad. From assumptions about wildlife and culture to stereotypes about food, religion, and Bollywood, her experiences read like a daily stand-up comedy routine. With wit and humour, she tackles each misconception, offering playful yet pointed answers that highlight both the curiosity and ignorance foreigners often display about common question Gautam faces is whether India has WiFi. She jokingly points out that not only does India have WiFi, but sometimes it's faster than people expect. Similarly, she addresses assumptions about the country's climate, emphasising its diversity—from scorching plains to cool mountains, deserts, beaches, and rainforests. She also tackles the stereotype that Indians eat curry daily, reminding her audience with a smile that cuisine is far more assumptions come up frequently, too. People often compliment her English, expecting it to be broken or heavily accented. She responds humorously that she learned it in England's 'favorite colony,' highlighting the irony. And of course, Bollywood fame comes into play, with strangers assuming she personally knows stars like Shahrukh Khan—something she answers with a witty nod to her family, and lifestyle questions are never-ending. Many ask if she is a vegetarian for religious reasons or if she lives in a massive joint family. Gautam clarifies, mixing humour and reality: she enjoys paneer because it's delicious, not religiously mandated, and joint families exist mainly at weddings. Even questions about village life, spicy food, cricket, yoga, and arranged marriages get her signature funny yet factual and culture provoke curiosity as well. Foreigners often ask about India's many gods, which she quips are enough to cover every festival and exam season. And when asked about riding camels or elephants, she jokes about grocery-store commutes, poking fun at the over-the-top stereotypes. Through these interactions, Gautam showcases how living abroad as an Indian is filled with amusement, surprises, and plenty of opportunities to educate with humour.

‘Ali Fazal's family prepares separate dishes for Jains during Eid': Richa Chadha opens up about her ‘exciting' inter-faith marriage with the actor
One of Bollywood's most beloved power couples, Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal, are all set to celebrate their third wedding anniversary. Although the industry has long seen actors marrying in real life, what makes this couple special to the audience is that they are both outsiders with no prior connection to the industry whatsoever and made it big solely through their hard work. Following their wedding in 2022, the couple welcomed a baby girl in 2024, thus taking a new and even bigger step in their personal lives. Last month, the first-time parents had also penned a heartwarming post on the occasion of their daughter Zuneyra's birthday, reflecting on the impact her arrival had on their lives and how she changed them for the better. As they revel in all the joy and love, Richa opened up about being in an interfaith marriage with Ali, which she described as an 'exciting' experience. Taking part in the eighth edition of The Indian Express' Expresso, she said, 'I love being in an interfaith marriage, and it's exciting. I get to learn so many new things. Also, my dad is Punjabi and my mom is Bihari. So that in itself was a unique combination when they got married in the '80s. Between Ali and me, even though we are very secular, progressive and spiritual people, we do things with the other person's religion because it's just amazing.' Richa further mentioned that she loves visiting Ali's ancestral home in Lucknow during Eid, noting that people from all faiths come together there to mark the occasion and celebrate the festival. 'Not just Muslims, everyone comes there on Eid to eat biryani or yakhni pulao. They also prepare a separate set of dishes for the Jains who live across the road. It's wonderful to see them sitting around, and Ali's 90-year-old grandmother will make paan. The whole mahaul is so joyous,' she shared. She shared that Ali also embraced all the Hindu festivals like Diwali and Bhai Dooj that her family celebrates. 'He was so happy. Recently, he came dancing to a big fat Punjabi wedding, and he was just showered and smothered in love,' she shared. Going a step further, Richa also spoke about what she believes to be the biological benefits of promoting marriages outside one's own community. 'I think we must take a cue from nature. In nature, the main cause of congenital diseases is inbreeding. What does that mean? That means that nature wants you to share and spread. That's how you evolve and grow.' The eighth edition of Expresso was presented by HSBC in association with Taj Lands End, Mumbai, Seetu Kohli Homes as the Luxury Partner, Chambers of Kartik Seth as the Knowledge Partner, and Radico as the Celebration Partner.
