    The actor is in his early 20s and he is white he is not south asian. So the emmerdale casting department pick a white actor to portray a south asian.

    That is the point why is a white guy playing an Indian? I am sure an actor of South asian descent could of done a good job.

    I am sure an actor of south Asian descent could have done a good job but there have been American thespians that have portrayed British royalties and politicians ... I guess that is all what acting is about

    There are more ridiculous castings in the show. Carly Hope is supposed to be 24/25, and Emma Barton looks too young to be the mother of at least some of her children. How young must she have been when she met James?

    Per Emmerdale wikia
    james born 1969 Emma not stated .
    They are shown as marrying in1989 Emma
    must have been at least 16 so latest DOB1973
    Which makes her 42 -actress is 43 dob May 1972

    Sons DoB Pete not stated Ross 1990 Finn 1992
    Im.sure ive read somewhere!? that Pete was
    conceived (.and possibly born).when Emma
    under age perhaps when she was 13/14??
    but cant find it now.

    So technically old enough to be their mother
    but agree doesnt.really look it!!

    I am guessing you are white so you probably would not understand how racist and offensive it is. Since when can a white actor take on a tole meant for an actor of colour? Actors of colour have it hard enough since there are a paucity of film rIles for them.
