Katrina Kaif is not an Indian


August 27, 2009, 9:09 am

Real name is Katrina Turquotte


Ayesha Shroff, who was one of the producers of the horrendous Kaizad Gustad film 'Boom' has dropped a bombshell by revealing that Katrina Kaif is not who she says she is.

Accordint to Shroff, Katrina Kaif's real name is Katrina Turquotte and that she is not at at all an Indian, like she claims she is. The 'Kaif' surname is entirely fictitious and was made in order to mark her entry in Bollywood as a half-Indian actress. What's more, her family background of a Kashmir father and a British mother was also entirely invented for the sake of PR and marketability.

Shroff said that Katrina's passport when she entered India in 2003 stated her name as Katrina Turquotte and was changed because it would apparently have been hard for Indian audiences to spell of pronounce it. Reportedly Katrina was forced to work in London at a place which was not very respectable in order to support her huge family. Director Kaizad Gustad found her on the streets of London and cast her in Boom.

According to Shroff, when Katrina came to India she bonded with Salman Khan and his family. That worked in her favor as the actor introduced her to all the bigwig Bollywood producers and directors who hired her at once. "It is amazing how she has lied all this while that she is an Indian girl because she absolutely isn't. She may be very coy, classy and prim-and-propah now but her behavior on the sets of was nothing like that or like a well-behaved Indian girl. She was more comfortable being sexy then but now she wants to dress up from head-to-toe." a source said, "Now she is an inspirational icon as she opened doorways for wannabe actresses in India by establishing herself."

Katrina Kaif was recently voted as the Indian Barbie, but all that goes out the window with this new discovery. Apart from her raven hair which makes her look like an Indian, there is absolutely nothing desi about her. "We are wondering how Katrina, who has hoodwinked the country, can be called the Indian likeness of a Barbie because she isn't Indian at all. We wonder what
other skeletons will come out of the closet with time?" the source said.

I believe this, for some reason. No wonder she doesnt know any Hindi, and most of the time seems lost when it comes to speaking about Indian culture.

I dont really care though. So what if she's not Indian? More props to her for aquiring the culture and learning a whole different way of living.
She seems like a sweetie nonetheless!

^^ I dont care whether shes Indian or not. But, what I fail to understand is, why hide it? Moreover, why make up 'my father is half Kashmiri' and whatnot. Just represent yourself as whoever you are. I can understand about the name changing matter, but hey..a lot of actors/actresses have done that, but they dont hide it. Also, Katrina, in my opinion, is just plain lucky - she is NOT a good actress by any means. She should be extremely happy that she has gotten early breakthroughs through the help of Salman Khan. I dont know why, but I can never see the likes of Katrina ever improving as an actress, shes like a pretty face whose hanging around in bollywood. She cant even talk the language of bollywood films, so she doesnt even have to do much.

Anyways, dont care whether shes British, American, French, Malaysian or whatever - pretty odd how she created a story about her parents being so and so. I would have appreciated her much more had she just been straightforward. Just find it very strange.

oh wow, that's so cool. I can understand why she hide this secret though. Nobody would accept a non-indian into the bollywood industry as a heroin so she had to lie about her background. She worked hard on learning the languages from tamil, telugu, hindi and other languages she did movies for.

she may not be Indian but she has definitely some Asian blood.
She doesn't look a 100 percent white at all. I am thinking maybe She is like half Persian or Arabian. Not sure but she is definitely not an Indian.

If Jackie Chan can make it in Hollywood then why cant Katrina make it in Bollywood but hey what the hell She has already made it big in India. These stories are just simple waste of time.
I am sure her haters are gonna obsess over day and night.LMAO
