Shygal, what I've been able to find out about John Abraham's mother is that she's Iranian. That's not the same thing as being Parsi. Parsis have lived in India for hundreds of years, they're Zoroastrians, and their community culture has been heavily influenced by the surrounding Indian culture. Iranians are much more likely to be Muslim. I have no idea whether his mother was raised Muslim or Zoroastrian (there are still Zoroastrians in Iran) so it's best not to reais the issue.

Can you find any reliable sources that say that she is a Parsi? Zora 21:21, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I've been googling like mad for references to his mother and Rediff, which is usually reliable, calls his mother Parsi. Hence the editor who wrote that his mother was from Mashad, Iran, must have been wrong. Sorry to get into a fight over this. Zora 03:05, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
