    Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone
    They may be proficient in Indian languages and prolific on screen, but there are some stars who began their journey far from India’s shores. Here’s a look at some top celebs from Katrina Kaif (left) to Deepika Padukone (pictured), who were born abroad. Image Credit: Instagram

    Deepika Padukone
    First up, ‘Chhapaak’ actress Deepika Padukone. The beauty queen-turned-movie star was born in Copenhagen because her also famous father, badminton star Prakash Padukone, was mid training session in the Danish capital and the family had relocated during this time. After she was born however, the Padukones returned to India. The actor, who made her debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Om Shanti Om’, went on to become Bollywood’s highest-paid actress and has even been part of a Hollywood blockbuster, ‘XXX: Return of Xander Cage.’ Living the Bollywood dream? We think so. Image Credit: Instagram

    Katrina Kaif
    This one’s got a thick accent and had to take many, many lessons in Hindi before she got there, but Katrina Kaif can now safely be called a bankable actor. The ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ actress was born in Hong Kong to a Kashmiri dad and British mum. Her early years saw her live in places including Hawaii and London. Nowadays, however, she’s firmly rooted to Mumbai. Image Credit: Instagram

    Sunny Leone
    Sunny Leone hails from Canada and was a former adult movie actress there. Since moving to India however, she’s done things differently. She got into reality TV show ‘Bigg Boss’ which led her to films such as ‘Jism 2’ and ‘Ragini MMS 2’. Most recently, she was seen in a ‘Raees’ song. Image Credit: Instagram

    Jacqueline Fernandez
    This Sri Lankan star also has a Middle East connect. Jacqueline Fernandez’ family moved to Bahrain when she was very young and lived there for many years. Later, she would turn her interested to modelling, head to India and land a role in the Hindi movie ‘Aladin’. And the rest, as they say, is history. Image Credit: Instagram
