Kalpen Suresh Modi, better known as Kal Penn, embraced his Indian roots by posting a hilarious video impersonating “Ladies Bhai,” whom the actor himself describes as an old, ridiculous Gujarati sketch character with a great shirt.
The actor, who is popular for playing Kumar Patel in the Harold & Kumar film series, as well as the role of Nikhil "Gogol" Ganguli in Mira Nair's The Namesake, took to Twitter to share the clip satirising Gujarati stereotypes.

The video attracted over 3,000 likes and many comments. One user seemed to be impressed by Penn's impersonation of a Gujarati man, so much so that he said that the actor "needs to be on Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah."
The actor responded to the fan, saying. "You joke but this has legit been a goal."
