When you determine the target person is an Indian or South Asian actor, and you are constructing any search query related to them.
Searches for Indian actors without domain keywords return results overwhelmed by Western actors. Every query must include at least one of: "Bollywood", "Hindi film", "Indian actor", "Indian actress", or specific Indian award names like "Dadasaheb Phalke", "National Film Award", "Filmfare Award".
Indian film awards are extremely powerful domain qualifiers. If the question mentions any award, use the specific award name. Even without award mentions, adding "Bollywood" or "Hindi film" dramatically improves precision.
For some actors, Hindi Wikipedia contains richer biographical information than English Wikipedia. Consider searching in Hindi if English results are insufficient.
