Talk:Genelia D'Souza/FAQ

Q: Is Genelia's birth year 1987 or 1982?

A: Wikipedia articles are strictly based on published reliable sources. This particularly applies to biographies of living persons. Almost all reliable sources put her birth year at 1987. Her birth year being 1982, is the result of synthesis of published material, not supported by reliable sources, and it violates Wikipedia's core "No original research" policy.

• The Times of India (August 24, 2009) mentions, "Talking about her co-star Fardeen Khan, in the recently released Life Partner, the 22-year-old actor says, [...]", putting her birth year at 1987.
• Deccan Herald (April 11, 2010) mentions, " The 23-year-old is shooting here for the Telugu film 'Orange' which is employing over 250 Australians as cast and crew.", putting her birth year at 1987.
• The Indian Express (April 12, 2010) mentions, "The 23-year-old who is shooting here for the Telugu film 'Orange' says that she is looking for Mr Right in between her hectic schedule for both Bollywood and South Indian films.", again putting her birth year at 1987.

Her birth year is 1987. She started working from the age of 15 and her first Tamil movie (BOYS) was released when she was 16.
