Where did that accent go? - Page 3

I can maybe believe Katrina is mixed, but possibly not Indian. Isabelle literally looks like of European descent!

She can pass off as turkish..she looks more turkish than white actually. Turkish people are so so good looking!

but sadly she is not ageing like a turkish woman though....and i mean like fine wine!

I can see the similarity

she is nearly identical. she has said before that her family claims she takes after her father. well yeah...she does!

and her biological father does not even look Kashmiri from any angle 🤔 he looks very Eastern European to me. what do you think?

Plastic and Priyanka have also been criticized for their accents.

Katrina's background will forever be a mystery unless she clarifies it herself. The Kashmiri dad story was not true. Both her parents are Caucasian. Katrina passes off as a Desi but all her other siblings look 100% European/Caucasian.

She looks Anglo through and through. The accent has transitioned as well. Seems like she really wants to sound relatable for her BW entry.

Point is when Katrina claims her father is Kashmiri and mom is white, it sounds completely plausible. E.g. look at Nargis Fakhri.

In India itself you will find Indians born and brought up in India that could pass off as say middle eastern. All my bawa (Parsi) friends in college could actually pass of as European. And I have an aziz Kashmiri Pandit friend whose cheeks are rosy, literally. Then you have other folks, e.g. random example of Suzanne Khan (I don't know her ancestry) - she can easily pass of as East European. I also knew a Syed (they claim ancestry to Prophet Muhammad SAW), who literally had green eyes and fair complexion - he could easily pass off as an Arab.

And then coming to folks with white moms and desi dads. There is an Indian politician 💀, and then there are examples like Sanjana Kapoor (Sashi Kapoor's daughter).

So as an Indian you connect with someone, even if they have mixed parentage. This is especially true (based on the ingrained patriarchal perspective) when the "dad" is desi.

Back to Isabelle, unfortunately for her (wrt to Bollywood career) she doesn't look the part. Kat has easily sold her story and most of India has bought it. Whether that story is true or not, neither do I know, nor do I care. And I respect her for all she's achieved. 👏

Back when Katrina entered BW the 'white' girl in desi films was still exotic for most people. Which was why they tolerated her poor diction . Now nobody cares. Katrina's debult film was Boom which should have been named Boob. Again, that kind of stuff was a big deal back then. Now ,even if Isabelle spreads eagle on a table it would be shrugged off. She's a little late to the party
