New Delhi. The life of Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif has been associated with the glitz and glamor of films. She has been active in Hindi cinema for more than two decades and has also managed her business along with acting. However, the life of Katrina's mother Suzanne Turcotte is completely different from this. According to reports, she has left the comfortable life of London and has been living in Madurai area of Tamil Nadu, India for many years and is devoting her time to helping poor and needy children.
The story of Sussanne's coming to India and staying here is also told to be quite different. According to reports, he left London in the year 2008. After this, she stayed in Madurai and started working for the education of children and their better future. It started by giving free tuition to poor children studying in government schools. Gradually their work increased and along with education, areas like health and child safety were also included in it.
Suzanne started Mountain View School in the year 2015. It is said that in the initial phase it was like a small nursery school in which about 30 children studied. Most of these children came from rural and economically weak families. With time this initiative progressed and the number of children also increased. According to the report, now about 300 children are associated with this primary school.
Katrina has also talked about her mother's work and her dedication towards social service on many occasions. About a decade ago, the actress had told that her mother runs a school in Madurai and teaches children. According to Katrina, the feeling of helping needy people within her mother is not a new thing but it has been a part of her nature.
The facilities at the place where Suzanne lives are said to be limited. Katrina had told in an old interview that her mother did not have access to electricity all the time. Sometimes internet is also not available due to which it becomes difficult for both of them to talk on video call. In such a situation, mother and daughter have to communicate through normal phone calls. Katrina had also told that her mother lives in hot weather without facilities like air conditioner.
According to Katrina, her mother has made serving people a part of her life. The actress herself has been supporting her mother's work and is reported to have also provided financial help to the school. This story is also special because on one hand Katrina's life is connected to the glittering world of the film industry, while on the other hand her mother chose the path of working for the education of children while living in very ordinary circumstances for a long time.
This initiative of Katrina's mother shows that a person is not identified only by his financial status or social fame. Suzanne chose a different path for herself and made the education of children in rural areas the center of her work. This aspect of her life remained away from the glare of Bollywood for a long time but has been coming to the fore from time to time through Katrina's old statements.
