At a time when pseudo seculars and spurious nationalists are taking over India for reasons unknown, everyone with a foreign connect are put in a state of jeopardy. That is happening with film celebs as well and suddenly actress Amala Akkineni’s family background, lineage and ethnicity have become a topic of discussion.

As many wrong reports are doing rounds about the background of Akkineni Kodalu, the actress, wife of Nagarjuna and mother of young hero Akhil, has given clarity. Of course, most of us know that Amala’s mother is an Irish lady and her father is a Bengali who served in the Indian Navy. But for others, here comes the full history.

“My mother is Irish and yet my mother in law always said she was more Indian in spirit than many Indians. My father is Indian – who grew up in UP and served in the Indian Navy. He was born in Dhaka, East Bengal before it was called Bangladesh. Unless one understands history, one will never understand the pain caused by partition. Cmdr. M.K.Mukherjee, (Rtd.IN, VSM) is a proud Indian and a Bengali” Amala said, in a statement.
