Birthplace Sources?
editThis article lists his birthplace as Bombay but there doesn’t seem to be a source linked for that information.
This source - linked in his entry — simply says he has ancestral ties to Mumbai. It doesn’t say he was born there.
This article says hes’s Ugandan born.
I have no insight into whether the Hindustani Times claim or the unsourced Wikipedia assertion is correct. Just wanted to highlight the potential issue. 2601:602:8182:AF20:91E5:A1AB:D7E3:9227 (talk) 02:17, 13 July 2025 (UTC)

- I was able to find confirmation from him (in this interview) that he was born in Bombay. That interview may have other information that could be added to the article. It's available through the Wikipedia Library. FactOrOpinion (talk) 21:50, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
