Mangalore Today / IndiaTV

New Delhi, July 19: Bollywood star Katrina Kaif has made a statement which could blow up into a controversy.

In an interview with Delhi Times, the Bollywood hotie was asked a question about her being a half Indian.

 

 

The question was: "And that’s why you’ve been touchy sometimes about people making snide remarks about your passport, ethnicity, surname?

Katrina replied: "Yes. Because people are insinuating that there is something wrong in it! Please understand that I am not - I assure you, I promise you - I am not the only half Asian half British person alive on this planet!

"My passport’s copies are with every news channel in this country - don’t ask me how they got them. Everyone has my name, which is my mother’s name, on the passport.

"It’s never been hidden, that, or my date of birth, or where I was born - I was born in Hong Kong, for all those who’;ve missed that part of the breaking news - and I just find it so funny. Am I supposed to be ashamed that I am half Asian, half European? I mean, no! Rahul Gandhi is half Indian, half Italian. So? I am very proud of what I am and I just don’t understand the confusion - as if I’m trying to hide the fact that my mother’s British. Why would I?"

From the lack of a father in her life,to the lack of a godfather in the industry,Katrina Kaif opened up to DT with both her strength and her vulnerability.
