Karan Soni is an Indian-born actor. He came to the U.S. at the age of eighteen, to study at the University of Southern California. He is known for his roles in the films Deadpool, Office Christmas Party, Like a Boss, and Superintelligence, and the series Blunt Talk and Miracle Workers, among many other projects.
As far as I can find “Soni” is a surname which originates from the Soni caste in India. They are generally Gujarati or Punjabi.
So he’s at least partially one of these groups. If anyone can find any more information nailing down which communities his father (in particular) or his mother come from, that’d be great.
India is home to over 2,000 different ethnic groups and languages from four of the world’s major language families.
