	However, upon her 1957 marriage to [[Marlon Brando]] a year after adopting her stage name, Kashfi failed to list either on her marriage license, instead stating her real father was one Devi Kashfi and biological mother named Selma Ghose. In a 14 October 1957, wedding day interview with ''The New York Times'' (entitled "Kashfi Still Enigma: License Does Not List Welsh Couple As Parents"), a friend of the bride was quoted as stating that Kashfi's purported Indian father had died six weeks before the ceremony.<ref>{{cite news \|author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> \|title=Kashfi Still Enigma: License Does Not List Welsh Couple As Parents \|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1957/10/14/84774203.pdf \|newspaper=New York \|location=The New York Times \|date=14 October 1957 \|access-date=2 April 2015 }}</ref>		However, upon her 1957 marriage to [[Marlon Brando]] a year after adopting her stage name, Kashfi failed to list either on her marriage license, instead stating her real father was one Devi Kashfi and biological mother named Selma Ghose.

	In her 1979 book, ''Brando for Breakfast'', Kashfi retreated halfway and claimed she is half-Indian, maintaining that rather than William O'Callaghan being her real father he was in effect her stepfather. She stated her biological father was Indian and she was the result of an "unregistered alliance" between him and her mother. When questioned earlier in life about her daughter's heritage, her mother had told the press ''"There is no Indian blood in my family or my husband's family"'',<ref name="ReferenceA" /> which indeed rules out her ancestry and O'Callaghan's, but does admit the logical possibility of Anna's father having been Indian. Film director [[Edward Dmytryk]], who directed the actress in her first film, stated in a ''New York Times'' interview (titled "Kashfi Called Welsh") the day before her wedding to Brando that he knew her real surname was Irish but assumed that she was half-Indian.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>		In her 1979 book, ''Brando for Breakfast'', Kashfi retreated halfway and claimed she is half-Indian, maintaining that rather than William O'Callaghan being her real father he was in effect her stepfather.
