Sri Lanka-born Sashi Perera has garnered millions of views for her comedy videos online, which led to her receiving a lot of hate and love. We listen to Sashi’s jokes, including one about her remembering a racist song she once sang in school. She talks to Aditya about setting boundaries between the Sri Lankan community, working as a refugee lawyer, realising she can date other ethnicities, facing racism after a cricket match, receiving a DM from Hasan Minhaj, and much more.
I get recognised on the street now, which is wild, and people coming up to me and having chats about their lives, which I absolutely love. The worst thing is the trolling, which I don’t take seriously, but it still sucks.Sashi Perera
