Her friend pronounced the word ‘look’ as ‘lewk’
(Web Desk) - Internet trolls have accused Meghan Markle of being 'incredibly rude' to her own close friend Mindy Kaling on her new Netflix show.
Social media users accused the Duchess of Sussex of pretending not to understand what comedian Ms Kaling was saying after she pronounced the word ‘look’ as ‘lewk’.
But her fans have dismissed the claims, saying that Mindy was using slang and both women were just having fun.
In the segment, a compliment from Ms Kaling triggered a comical reaction from the Duchess of Sussex, 43, who appeared to take a few seconds to realise what was being said.
‘By the way Meghan, I want to ask about your look,’ said Mindy.
‘My who?’ Ms Markle replied, forcing Ms Kaling to repeat the word look.
“Your lewk. Your look, Meghan!" Kaling said laughing. “Did I not say it right?”
Meghan replied with a smile: “I don’t know. Mindy, you’re way cooler than I am. I don’t know what you were talking [about]. My lewk. She likes my lewk. Oh my gosh'.
But some trolls said it was 'mean girl behaviour' by Meghan.
One X user wrote: ‘Watching Meghan literally humiliate Mindy over that small mispronunciation and go on about it instead of laughing & shrugging it off was really triggering for me'.
And another said: ‘Humiliating her so-called friend. Definite mean girl behaviour'.
Another X user wrote: ‘Yes, I noticed the same thing... I can't believe they actually aired that'.
Ms Kaling was born to a Tamil father and Bengali mother.
Her family immigrated to the USA the year she was born, and she grew up speaking English at home.
‘I was raised speaking English only because my parents spoke two different Indian languages, so the only language we all had in common was English,’ Ms Kaling said in 2018.
