Hulu's new comedy series "Deli Boys" features two Pakistani American brothers, Raj and Mir Dar, confronting familial secrets after their father's unexpected death. Saagar Shaikh, who portrays Raj, shares his personal connection to delis, having grown up in one owned by his father. The show depicts their struggle with the unexpected legacy of crime. The Onyx Collective produced it to highlight diverse narratives without the need for explanations, focusing instead on authentic storytelling. The series is recognized for its all-star cast and has been well-received for portraying underrepresented communities in a comedic light.
I grew up in a deli, in a convenience store. My dad has worked in one my whole life and he has owned one for the past 25, 26 years.
They're not explanation stories. Let's tell a story and the characters just happen to be, in our case, brown. They were champions of us the whole way.
