Dubey also revealed that had also been a victim of racism and only realised it when he witnessed the 'Black Lives Matter' movement.
He told India Today: ¡°I have faced racism, looking back on it, my entire life here in America. That is something I had trouble swallowing and understanding because I have always aspired to be in the roles of my white role models in America."
