Natasha Rastogi is a first rate actress, producer and director, best known for her starring roles in various high budget films made in India. She is a versatile person, able to adapt well to various cultures and languages. However, in this article I would like to look at her Nationality when it comes to her acting career. I feel that Natalia Rastogi could be described as “half-Indian, half African” due to her ancestral background, which is Indian in origin and African in her nationality.
When we look at the character of Natasha Rastogi, the first thing that comes to our mind is that of an educated woman who belongs to a lower class. However, her education is not that of a common woman, as she has been studying for more than seven years at Jai Mahal Ashoka Institute, a prominent institution of higher learning located in Varanasi. At the time of her entrance into the institute, Natasha had to pass an entrance examination known as the Gita Prabha, that is intended to assess one’s ability in literature, logic, reading, pronunciation, and the knowledge of moral and ethical values. The marks she got in this examination to prove that she was indeed bright and capable enough to come to this institution, and also to perform the role of Natalia Rastogi, which was assigned by the then Ashoka governor.
This film shows us that the young woman from a humble background is able to rise above all barriers and makes a name for herself in the industry. Moreover, we get to see her character overcome various hardships, and come out as a successful and popular personality. It is interesting to note that the character of Rastogi did not really get to know about her nationality or identity until the time she went to Amarnath and started her search for the Man of Steel. As a result, we can see that the character of Rastogi has transcended her own nationality and race, and instead became a representative of all Indian women, all races and all backgrounds.
