her mother Suzanne Turquotte has chosen a very different path While Katrina Kaif has built a successful career in Bollywood and established herself as an actor and entrepreneur. Away from the spotlight and comforts associated with fame, Suzanne has spent years working for underprivileged children and communities in rural Tamil Nadu.
I think we have about 250 kids there. My mom has been there for more than 15 years I think,” Katrina said. Because of her charities and blessings that I have reached these heights, it is. Because you don’t have electricity, so the ACs are not there, it’s incredibly hot and. Because she enjoys helping people, she lives in this condition and she has always done.
Speaking to ABP around a decade ago, she said, “My mom stays in Madurai where she has started a school for children. She has made curriculum, she trains the teachers there,” she said. A source told Mid-Day, “Katrina loves the work her mother is doing and posts about it on social media sometimes.
Katrina has often spoken about her mother’s dedication to charity and the impact it had on her upbringing. She is a teacher. She teaches there. And she is happy. “She has this school in Madurai. This is a school she built from scratch. She teaches at the school. The actress has also acknowledged how demanding her mother’s life in rural Tamil Nadu can be, particularly given the lack of basic conveniences. “A person who lives in a village where there are hours in a day when there is no electricity there. It’s a tough life. It takes a different kind of person. I don’t know if I could do that. Despite her demanding professional schedule, Katrina continues to support her mother’s work. She contributes a portion of her film earnings towards the school and has also used money earned through reality television shows to support the initiative. However, she doesn’t like to bring her contributions to attention. Since she is busy with her film commitments and hence cannot always visit the place, she donates money.”
The actress also revealed that her mother’s lifestyle is far removed from the luxuries she herself enjoys today.
