Tasha admitted that family history has long been a sensitive topic for her, too. His grandfather moved to Britain from Pakistan at a young age and later married his British grandmother. <\/p>\n

The reality star further added, “Interestingly, my grandfather’s family is Muslim and they live in Pakistan, but we have no contact with them now.”<\/p>\n
Tasha said she was inspired to reconnect after recent discoveries at the house, which also included old letters and photographs. She and her father have since decided to reconnect with relatives and try to understand more about their roots.<\/p>\n
“I feel embarrassed when people ask me, ‘Where does your surname come from?’ I say Pakistan and that’s all. That’s all I know,\u201d Gauri admitted.<\/p>\n
He also admitted that his knowledge of his background was limited. Tasha said she wanted to paint a clear picture of her legacy for herself and for future generations. “I want to be able to say to my future children, ‘This is family history and this is who you are.'”<\/p>\n
