Her mother has Portuguese ancestry, while the exact ancestry of her father is little known; in an interview, Kaur said that she is "half Punjabi", and that her father is half Indian, being her paternal grandfather of the Punjabi and her paternal grandmother of Portuguese.[1][2]

Kaur worked as a model since she was 14 and continued to do so while studying law at Universidade Cândido Mendes before quitting to work as full-time model when receiving an offer in India. She is also known to be an opera singer.[citation needed]
