I think I had similar instances, with Buddha being born in India thing, Mt.Everest is in India and all sorts of things. So I stopped watching Hindi movies, saves my 3 hours and I tell them that I do not speak Hindi at all. Speak to them in English and improve on your accent, that shuts them up. It all depends on you whether you want to be associated with Indian or not. Watching Hindi movies, knowing all the new movies and actor/actress doesn't help. Don't hang around them, Chinese and other Asian will give you more respect than Indians.
