Sri grew up in Mechanicsburg, PA. His family was one of the few families of color in the entire town. Photo courtesy Sri Rao.
Like many first-generation Indian-American kids, Sri grew up with a love of Bollywood films, which is how he learned the language and culture of his parents' homeland. Photo courtesy Sri Rao.
