Famous foreigners in the spotlight in India (as opposed to foreigners primarily famous in their native countries)...are there any?

Prince Siddhartha and Mother Teresa are the first names that come to mind.

There's that actress Yana Gupta.


If you want to count the half-breeds, some of the "Indian" celebrities have a non-Indian parent.

Are you counting foreigners of indian descent? Or do you mean people who aren't of indian descent?

Katrina Kaif is half british, Diya Mirza is half german, Lisa Ray is half polish, Isha Sharvani is half australian and Dino Morea is half italian.
