Ayesha Shroff: It was Jackie Shroff's wife, Ayesha, who gave Katrina the identity that she enjoys today. Jackie Shroff's wife, Ayesha Shroff, who had produced Katrina's debut film, Boom, in an interview to Mumbai Mirror in 2011 revealed the actress' identity. The report quoted her as saying, "Her passport says Turquotte. We created an identity for her. She was this pretty young English girl, and we gave her the Kashmiri father and thought of calling her Katrina Kazi. We thought we'd give her some kind of Indian ancestry, to connect with the audience. Those times were different, now people are more accepting. But then we thought that Kazi sounded too religious. We were to introduce her to the press and at that time, Mohammad Kaif was at the top, and so we said, Katrina Kaif sounds really great. In fact, the brochures for the press said Katrina Kazi. We passed that off saying that was a printing mistake."
