For one cares if their origin is from Tim-buk-tu, they areall proud Indians and carry an Indian passport and represent the Indian filim industry including some from Pakistan and they have reached this hights because of the love and support they received from the people of India.

I am sure most of them would thank their stars for the decisions taken by their parrents and grand parrents.
