Sonia Turcotte, also known as Sonia Kaif, is widely recognized as the youngest sister of Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif. While Katrina Kaif and Isabelle Kaif stepped into the entertainment industry and gained public attention, Sonia chose a different path, staying away from the spotlight and building her identity in creative and intellectual fields. She is known for her work as a designer, researcher, photographer, and creative professional.
Early Life and Family
Sonia Turcotte was reportedly born around 1988 or 1989 and grew up in a culturally diverse and large family environment. Her mother, Suzanne Turquotte, is a British lawyer and humanitarian worker, while her father, Mohammed Kaif, is believed to be of Kashmiri origin. Sonia and her siblings were primarily raised by their mother after her parents separated during Katrina Kaif’s early years.
She belongs to a family of eight siblings, including seven sisters and one brother. Her sisters include Stephanie, Christine, Natasha, Melissa, Katrina, and Isabelle, along with one brother. Due to their mother’s humanitarian work, the family frequently moved between countries, and a part of the children’s education took place through homeschooling, which encouraged independence, adaptability, and exposure to different cultures.
