i love!!! pavitr!!!! best part about him is that the astv creators just said he's indian. he could be any type of indian and you wouldn't be wrong. maybe he's malayali. maybe he's from mizo. maybe he's from punjab. maybe he's tamilian. maybe he's from sikkim. you decide!!!!

#'oh but he's from mumbattan!!1!!“'#ok. so?#mumbai based malayali #mumbai based punjabi #mumbai based manipuri kid #he really is mr. india #and like not to be too bitter here but like usually when we get indian characters they're usually north indian #which like i get. there are a lot more north indians in america than south probably but like while there are some overarching similarities #between north and south indians we're not the same. and it does get a little disheartening watching a new indian character #onscreen knowing you can't really relate to them at all.#but like pav is just like ambiguously indian. like he has no identifying characteristics of any indian states #like the most you could say is that he's maharashtrian cause mumbai is in Maharashtra #and like i love pavitr for that!!!#also before someone says smth #disclaimer! evrythg i said in the tags is based on how i feel as an american born south indian kid #pavitr prabhakar #astv #spiderman india
