Why Katrina Kaif’s mother lives without electricity, internet in a Tamil Nadu village
Katrina Kaif's mother, Suzanne Turquotte, lives in rural Tamil Nadu without electricity or internet access, dedicating her life to charity and education. After Katrina's rise to stardom, her mother moved to Tamil Nadu in 2008 to establish the NGO Relief Projects India, which has since expanded into health and protection programmes.
The NGO now operates in 25 villages, offering programmes like adolescent development and women's empowerment. Despite the hardships, Suzanne continues to live a simple life, teaching at Mountain View School and helping children from disadvantaged communities. Katrina supports her mother's work through donations and occasionally uses her public platform to seek funds for the cause.
