Nowadays, actress Sherlyn Chopra is continuously perturbed with a case of mistaken identity with Pakistani actress Monalisa (the one who is making her Indian debut in the Sunny Deol-starrer 'Kaafila').

"I'm very much an Indian, hailing from Andhra Pradesh. There's nothing Pakistani about me," quips Sherlyn, who is also a winner of the Miss Andhra crown. However, she doesn't wish to blame anyone for the confusion.

"I don't even know how it started, maybe because my earlier screen-name was Mona," she states and adds, "I realized it first when a gentleman addressed me as Monalisa at a Mumbai coffee shop where I was discussing my film 'Red Swastik'.

Now 'my' pictures have started appearing with Monalisa's name in papers, so its high time to clarify".

For the record, Sherlyn is actually half-Christian and half-Muslim with Persian origins and a Punjabi surname. Now now! That doesn't make her a Pakistani but surely a crossbreed.
