Birth year

edit

This interview from The Guardian puts her at 32 on 20 October 2008. An interview in The Sunday Times by Lisa Verrico from 28 June 2009 says her age is 32 as well. If that was correct she must have been born between June and October 1976. Now this findmypast.co.uk claims to have a record from Lambeth from 1971 for a Raissa Khan-Panni. How reliable is findmypast resp. how sure can we be that it's the same person? Or did she make herself 5 yrs. younger for the interviews? --Gereon K. (talk) 08:07, 9 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Findmypast is the online directory of official UK birth records. Raissa Khan-Panni is a very unique name and this is the only record of anyone with that name born in England. It isn't unusual for artists to knock years of their real age in interviews etc. 92.8.19.139 (talk) 16:25, 26 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
