Biographical details are always sketchy with such alluring foreign-born actresses as Destiny, but all bio pages state that she is originally from Manchester, England. If you are one of the fortunate ones to have seen her in a film and heard her speak, this origin is confirmed by her language.
It should be noted that Manchester has a significant Pakistani population. According to Wikipedia, "The largest visible minority in Manchester are Pakistanis (Majority of Azad Kashmir and Punjabi origin) which make up 3.8% of the total population." We also learn that "a large Indian population (5.2%) lives in neighboring Bolton. Significantly, one in eight of all Pakistanis and one in twelve of all Bangladeshis in Britain reside in Greater Manchester. This cultural diversity is expected to increase over time, given existing trends."
These facts hint at the possibility that Destiny Deville's true ethnic origin may be Pakistani, rather than Indian, as she has been labeled since the beginning of her acting career. Or she may indeed be of Indian heritage, for as we see Manchester and environs have a large Indian population, too. The exotic mystery of Destiny continues. Of course, prior to the partition of 1947, the area now known as Pakistan was part of British India, so the roots are ethnically similar, with religion being the greatest separation being the Pakistani and Indian cultures.
