Creator's statement

The focus for The Fob and I is to bring an accurate portrayal of South Asians to the screen. We wanted to make sure we were creating complex characters, even within the Indian community. Though both leads are Indian cousins, Sita and Jisha have been raised under incredibly different circumstances and are very different women. Central to the creation of The Fob and I is also the idea of female friendship. Both girls learn from each other. They are able to understand their own culture and self better through the others' perspective. When Jisha arrives from India she is full of hope whereas Sita is jaded by her American experience. Yet by the end of the first season their roles have swapped. The series focuses on the minority experience in America
