Why does Hollywood depict Indian women as less feminine than Bollywood does?

In Bollywood, the man calls you “kanch ki gudiya”(delicate doll) and several other portrayals that show us as feminine and attractive as evident from the “masala songs” /item songs which usually have a woman wearing Indian outfits and dancing for male gaze.

Hollywood portrayal looks rather inaccurate and forced when she is shown as masculine and villainous.

The fact is, most Indian women in their natural habitat (India) are feminine, do domestic work, want and fear kids and submissive despite a good career ( usually a requirement as most Indian boys don’t marry a woman who hasn’t graduated)

Either Hollywood is oppressing us or they haven’t done enough research outside of their own country to know these women well.

If they are, in fact, masculine in your country then it’s entirely ON YOU white boys because they’re soft and feminine back home—the quintessential “abla nari”(weak woman as portrayed in Bollywood frequently).
