Jennifer longs for a desi image

Jennifer Winget aka Sneha of Kasautii Zindagi Kay seems to be having an identity crisis. Because of her name she is often misunderstood to be a foreigner. "Many people feel I might be a foreigner but I want to tell everyone that I am as Indian as any other. My dad is a Punjabi and my mother a Maharashtrian Christian." she exclaims. Often called Sneha, Jennifer admits "I am most often addressed as Sneha, it's only when I reveal my real name that I get funny reactions."

Maybe now she would be able to convince people of her desi origins better as she has bagged the lead role for Star Plus' new TV soap Sangam where she plays a typical Indian.
