Neighbours, the long-running and globally successful Australian soap opera, is facing accusations of on-set racism and discrimination.

Sharon Johal, who has played Dipi Rebecchi, one of the show's leading characters, since April 2017, has come out publicly decrying what she claims were "direct, indirect and casual racism" on the set of the beloved serial drama.
