Tony Kanal is a British and American musician, record producer, songwriter, and animal rights activist. He is the bassist and co-writer for American rock band No Doubt and American new wave supergroup Dreamcar. Other members of No Doubt include Tom Dumont, Gwen Stefani, and Adrian Young. The other members of Dreamcar are Dumont, Davey Havok, and Young.
Tony was born in Brent, Middlesex, England, the son of Lajju (Chawla) and Gulab Kanal. His parents are Indian, of the Hindu religion. His father is from Sukkur, Sindh, now Pakistan, and his mother is from Mumbai. His family moved to Anaheim, California, U.S., when he was eleven. Tony is married to American home designer Erin Lokitz, with whom he has two children.
He’s half Marathi on his dad’s side, and is mom might be Punjabi or Sindhi, since Chawla is used by both ethnic groups.
I suggest changing his ethnicity to Sindhi. He’s likely not Marathi, because Kanal is not a Marathi name, it’s actually Sindh. His father is from Sukkur, Sindh, Pakistan. I’m so sorry for the mistake!
Here it says his parents were Sindhi immigrants: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/and-the-band-plays-on-/articleshow/29865841.cms
