He's Indian?

This post is in regard to this news on the the front page of Bangalore Mirror.
How is that kid (Akshai) from Bangalore, actually how is he even Indian? His dad is from Bangalore, Mom's from Coimbatore. The boy was born here in Bangalore but has spent the rest of his life outside India!
Everytime some kid (or adult) with an Indian heritage makes it big outside the country the media makes a huge deal. I don't understand why.
He was born in Bangalore, not educated here (He studies at Kennewick High School)! Funny thing is the rest of the article has quotes from his Uncle who lives in Bangalore. There are no quotes from Akshai or his parents.
BTW, this article is written by my ex colleague from my days of being a crime reporter at a city based news channel.
