Kumail literally had a stand up bit when he was much less well known about being called “Kumar” and how he dreams of the day that he is the goto point of reference that racists use to stereotype other brown people and himself. So Kal should proud of that, at least.
Also, I work with a lot of Middle Eastern and Indian people with a wide variety of names. It is weird that these three celebrities talking about being mistaken for each other all have names starting with K, containing an A, and ending with L. Kumail, Kunal, and Kal. Maybe it’s not so much about them being mistaken for each other but switching similar names around, like white guys called Kayden, Brayden, and Layden.

I wonder how good we are at distinguishing those Chris actors compared to distinguishing the actors in the OP.
Haha thanks Wiki, there’s a name:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_Chrises
It is a running gag my group that I cannot distinguish Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.
Speak for yourself!
I did!! :D
I wonderrr how our identification success rates compare
I would get Pratt. The others I would recognize but not know the names lol
This is a crazy assumption but Kal seems like a pretty real cat, so I’m kinda confident he was proud
