Kaif: 'I'm proud of being Indian'

Katrina Kaif has revealed that she hates it when people question her Indian roots.

The Hong Kong-born actress, who grew up in England, has been criticised for her poor Hindi accent on screen.

She told The Times of India: "I just get upset because I’m an Indian and nobody has the right to question that.

"As Indians, we have that inherent sense of pride because we’re different. We’re not fair-skinned and all that.

"And for me, it’s like robbing me of all this when somebody says that. A red flag goes up and I get furious.

"I’ve faced that myself... I have faced the sense of not belonging in London."

Kaif added that she had only been considered beautiful after moving to India.
