Karen Malhotra was born in Sarnia, Ontario to Indian parents and was raised a Sikh.[6] Her father was born in Tibet and raised in Delhi, while her mother (who passed away in 2008[7]) was from a small town called Nahan in Himachal Pradesh although both of Punjabi origin.[8][9] As a young girl, she was very athletic and played street hockey with the boys,[2] enjoyed ice skating on a nearby frozen lake and drinking hot chocolate in front of a fire after playing in the snow all day.[10]
Her parents enrolled her in a Catholic School,[6][11] where she had her first kiss at 11, lost her virginity to a basketball player at another school at 16,[11] and found out she was bisexual at 18.[12] When she was 15, her family received their green card[9] and migrated to the United States. They first moved to Fort Gratiot, Michigan, then to Lake Forest, California[11] before finally settling down in Orange County, California fulfilling a dream of her grandparents that all of them be together in one place.[1] She graduated from high school in 1999 and proceeded to enroll in college.
