I think it is interesting to compare him to Rik Makarem who plays Nikhil Shrama. I assume this actor is at least of partial Asian origin going by his name, and he does have some vaguely South Asian features, yet he reads as fairly white off the bat and I assume many people upon meeting him would see him as white in the absence of further information with which to classify him. Again it seems a case of casting some one who can just about pass as South Asian, yet does not look like most South Asians and can likely pass as European, regardless of actual heritage.
