I grew up in the States in the 70s and 80s - so my parents were born in 1937, and their 'era' of films ran from the mid 1950s to the 70s. TBF, I think they were done w/ Khoobsoorat (Rekha), or maybe Silsila. My father pirated them on VHS off India Sari Palace down the road.

Stop and think, 'would I treat another white person like this?' If the answer is no, DON'T DO IT.

I mean, I know what the person thought I was (and they were mistaken), but I wasn't handing out any clues.
It's just so uncomfortable for both of us. Please think before you speak.
While I'm on the subject, stop touching Black & brown people like we're your property. (Black hair, saris, etc.)
