Don't know if folks on this forum give a rat's @$$ about Kristen Kreuk but I'll post anyway.

Strange seeing her wear the Indian sari after Smallville

anyway here's the Trailers:

since she half white probably not.

This should probably be in India Chat. Why is it in Chinese Chat?

purist, eh?

i guess she could prolly pass for a ladakhi or maybe sikkimese

because she's 50% chinese!!

she looks weird in that picture... like an elf or alien or something

She reminded me of a downgraded and distorted version of an Aishwarya Rai. It's probably the piercing eyes.

This movie is supposedly a rip off of Gadar.....

She's playing a muslim girl. I actually know an indian musim girl who resembles her but the indian one is far prettier.

she looks like hazara female/Aishwarya merged.

as usual a somewhat interesting movie about India made by non-Indians.

Kristin and Udita Goswami also share a resemblance.

gorae shouldnt make movies about desis coz they get it all wrong. for instance, if she's playin a muslim girl then why does she have a bindi? plus that bindi is too high up her forehead. it looks more indonesian than indian style.

She is beautiful ...

Yeah she's beautiful, if I didn't know about her I would think she was Indian... oh and she spoke in an Indian accent! I thought it was good...

stupid casting, maybe if it was about the partition of Bengal(which ppl seem to forget about), but there's many desi actresses they coulda cast including many aspiring ones in England or wherever this movie was made.

why is she playing an i ndian character again?

because when you are mixed, well, you usually look like you can pass for anyone.

Most people look mixed except for whites, africans, and east asians. Everyone else looks like a mutt who could be italian, indian, paki, cuban, etc etc and everything in between.

actually looking at the picture I guess, but what I mean is it seems like a random choice.

It'sa rip off of Gadar

ok so she's the amisha patel role? who is playin the sunny deol role, does anyone know?

lmao gaydar...

Some guy called Jimi Mistry.

The original post has links to the trailer

lol he's the guy that was the main man in the movie Guru (American version)

He was also in East meets West. I remember him saying, "I don't want to marry a fookin paki!"

Kristin Kreuk reminds me of Rachel Ngan.

she's prettier then Kreuk.

The movie is made by a Canadian producer who probably picked her since she is one of Canada's most famous actresses that are not white.


The indian muslim girl I was talking about. She's five ten too and could be a big star in India if she wanted to.
Another difference is that her eyes are blue but I still think they look very alike.
Husna

lol, until you mentioned all that I never actually noticed, but now when I look at it again, it just looks so very wrong

Rachel Ngan is 1/4 desi

Quite a few Indians and Pakis are upset about a non-Desi girl being cast in the role, not that I care since I'm a big fan of Kristin myself.


Jimi Mistry is Irish-Indian, so he's Eurasian much like Kristin Kreuk.


That first picture looks like a modelling picture. Is she a Punjabi/Pathan/Kashmiri girl? Can I poke your friend's butt?


Indeed, Rachel Ngan is 1/4 Paki.

I still can't get over the casting choice, and I'm not a big fan of the westernization of Indian history. It's one of the reason's I think Gandhi is a $hitty film. fu-k, except for the South Africa part, the British were like saints in that movie.

She's an indian muslim, thats all i know. She's not my friend, just a girl I know. Yes, she actually has more modeling type pictures but I have to ask my friend to send them.

Well, Gandhi was directed by Richard Attenborough, a British guy himself......

Rachel Ngan was really annoying in Book and Sword 2002 production.

kristen is half indonesian chinese half caucasian. im sure amar420 is really chuffed. hahah lol @amar
go kristen, represent indonesia and china and india. what an ambassordor for the asia huh? im sure the likes of amar420 and gomeny are livid.

so it's safe to say she's part Indonesian as well? i mean if you're a chinese in indonesia you must have some Indonesian blood in you right?

^sometimes. but forgive me if im wrong kristen. i dont know but whatever you are kristen i wish you the best, and you look like a very sweet and pretty princess in the movie. just like keanu in little buddha, see not the first time a malay has played an indian.

At least Gandhi was played by a half-Indian man (Ben Kingsley) who had a striking resemblance to the real Gandhi.


According to Wikipedia, Keanu is a Portuguese-Chinese-Hawaiian mix. How exactly does that make him Malay? But I'm sure Kristin has some Malay descent since she has Chinese Indonesian ancestry.

i think keanu is irish hawain chinese. the hawain are kinda malay right?

related somewhat since they r both austronesian.

i think kristin is a good choice. she can pass as an indian or pakistani. i've seen a few who have similar facial features as her. hopefully, she did do well in the movie.

Wikipedia says he's Portuguese-Chinese-Hawaiian, although I can't verify it. Native Hawaiians (Polynesians) are distantly related to Malays via the Austronesian language family, but calling them "Malay" would be like calling Native Americans "Asian".

I seriously think Native Hawaiians don't look different than Malays... Or maybe it's just me.

According to kollision, a Polynesian user who used to come here back in 2005, the aboriginal Polynesians look more like the Aetas of Southeast Asia and the Andamans of South Asia. Although, I doubt Keanu has much aboriginal Polynesian ancestry.

y u doubt?

Aboriginal Polynesians are much darker.

oh you know so much do you? kekek just kidding. hey i t hink keanu told us in an interview that his great great great grandfather was aboriginal polynesian. i read it somewhere once. hahahah no not really lol.

I'm sure that makes a huge difference.
