What is common between Katrina Kaif, Dia Mirza, Lisa Ray, Celina Jaitley and Ayesha Takia?
These babes would probably hate each other, but they all have something in common, apart from being super hot and sexy they are quite a special lot.
Born out of mixed parentage, these Bollywood stars get the best of both worlds. Be it half-Anglo Indian and Burmese Helen or part-Irish, part-Bengali Amla Akkineni or Mrs. Nagarjuna.
Katrina Kaif
Born in Hong Kong to a British mom and Kashmiri dad, Katrina Kaif was raised in Hawaii before she came to London and dabbled with modelling.
Eventually, the Welcome beauty found her true calling in the make-believe world of Bollywood.
Celina Jaitley
The green-eyed sex symbol of Bollywood, Celina is part of the 'mixed' bandwagon as well.
While her Punjabi father served in the Indian army, Celina's mom, a child psychologist, is of Afghani descent.
Ayesha Takia
Her parentage makes for an curious cocktail. While Ayesha Takia's daddy is 100 percent Gujarati, her mom is half British and half Maharashtrian.
Despite so many languages to choose from, the Dor star prefers to converse in the Queen's tongue at home
Dia Mirza There's more to Dia Mirza than her Hyderabad roots. When the former Miss Asia Pacific was six years old, her Bengali mother and German father, Frank Handrich, filed for divorce. After the latter's demise, Dia's mom remarried and the petite actress adopted her step-dad's surname, Mirza. Lisa Ray Her peaches 'n' cream complexion and light eyes tell stories of her European roots. But her surname 'Ray' is clearly Indian in origin. The Toronto-bred Lisa Ray is indeed half-Polish, from her mother's side, while her dad is a Bengali. Though her work in the Oscar-nominated Water was widely appreciated, the low-profile Ray is happy doing a handful of films at a time.
