Kulvinder Ghir, one of the stars of the award-winning Goodness Gracious Me, has said more needs to be done to improve Asian representation on television and in film, 25 years on from the comedy show’s first broadcast.
The BBC sketch show, which aired between 1998 and 2001, is seen as having been instrumental in changing perceptions of the south Asian community in the UK, challenging racism and paving the way for its stars, who included Sanjeev Bhaskar, Meera Syal and Nina Wadia.
