Sai decided to start the series when she saw a few Indian girls in Toronto making fun of a woman walking on the street in a salwar kameez.

"As an Indian living abroad, I've come across a lot of people who put away their culture because they're ashamed to carry it," Sai told BuzzFeed.
"It's upsetting how people look down upon those who are not afraid to portray their culture."

"Instead, they appreciate celebrities like Vanessa Hudgens or Kylie Jenner, who use symbols from other cultures such as the bindi to make a 'fashion statement'."
