My Punjabi girlfriend is trying too hard to look and appear like a Bengali girl, and I feel it's affecting her mentally
So, I (24M) have a Punjabi (not Sikh, but Hindu) girlfriend (23F) who I've known for 6 months and had recently become my girlfriend around 1.5 months ago. She is extremely bubbly and cheerful and even 8/10 or 9/10 in my eyes. Sometimes I even feel as if she's a bit out of my league, lol.
So, from the beginning of us knowing each other, I have noticed that she always exhibits some playful Bengali behaviour (to me, and some of her other Bengali friends too). You know, like, Bengali jokes, Bengali food, common Bengali words and sentences (a bit stereotypical but I know it's just her being playful and in good faith, not making fun of Bengali culture in any way).
Things were normal just until a few weeks ago, when she suddenly started dressing up in Bengali style churidars and sarees, trying to speak in Bengali with me (heavily broken, but that's fine). Trying to look Bengali, etc. I think she's going a bit too overboard but not that it annoys me is a part of the problem, I feel it's affecting her at a mental level.
I'm not sure but subconsciously in many of her conversations with me, she has mentioned things like, Bengali girls are very beautiful (big, sharp, bold and expressive eyes etc) and I must be insane for being a Bengali guy myself not being able to find a single Bengali girl and having to find love in a Punjabi girl instead. That is, she has a perception that Bengali women in general are very beautiful and attractive or something. Could it be that she's fearing that I might fall for a Bengali girl later on and leave her?
How do I explain to her that I'm not that fond of Bengali women (no offence) and I simply like her just the way she is. I think the situation is still under control and hasn't gone out of my hands so any advice by y'all will be helpful, about how I should I approach her with this.
The last time I had a girlfriend was back in middle/high school. Dynamics have changed a lot since then. Please tell me what I can possibly do because I really love her and on top of being beautiful she's an immensely nice human being and cares a lot about me.
Edit #1: I'm a Bengali guy too. Hindu, yes. I work as a Software Engineer. She's a Content Writer.
Edit #2: Grammatical mistake

The Kalighat skywalk is really well made & efficiently planned. Has escalators, stairs & lifts with three entry/exit points. It also has guards/cctv for security & a beautiful mural. Hope devotees keep the place as clean as it is now. However greedy pandas in the temple ruin the experience as usual!
