- In an interview, while talking about his special relationship with India, Pratt said,
My mother is Fijian-Indian and my father is English but they met while studying at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. Growing up, I always wanted to go to India – none of my family ever had. It’s a rare thing for a NZ model to move to India but I’m so glad I did. I instantly fell in LOVE with the enigmatic energy and charm of India. I met great people and experienced so much! I highly recommend Leh and Ladakh to anyone traveling to India; I also love traveling to Udaipur and South Goa.”
