Her father and his family is most likely of Iranian origin that moved to India. The name Karimi is not Indian, neither is Reza.
Am sure if you dig through India's history, there will be mention of Persians and Iranians emigrating to India.
Just because she was introduced to Indian movies at a young age does not make her Indian nor possibility of being part Indian.
Side note: if she was half Indian, then she would not have needed to marry for an Indian status... Which by the way is a criminal offence.
Through her INDIAN father, she could have pursued her citizenship.
