Who is Borat 2 star Maria Bakalova?
Maria Bakalova is an actress who was born on June 4, 1996 in Burgas.
She’s relatively new to the movie scene, with her first acting credit on IMDb in 2015.
As well as acting, she has been singing and playing flute since the age of six.

What is her role in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm?
Warning – spoilers!
Maria plays Tutar, Borat’s 15 year old daughter. Her character also gets called Sandra Jessica Parker in the film.
At one point in the film, Borat tries to offer Tutar to the Vice President as a ceremonial gift in an attempt to bring honour to Kazakhstan.
Maria is involved in many of the film’s most comic and outrageous scenes, including a controversial scene with Rudy Giuliani in which he is tricked into an interview with Maria as Tutar, posing as a reporter.
Rudy can reportedly be seen with his hands down his pants in the clip and before things can escalate further, Sacha Baron Cohen enters as Borat saying, “She’s 15. She’s too old for you.” They then flee.
Rudy has said he was merely removing a microphone from under his shirt and if anything more is implied in the film it’s “fabrication”.
By the end of the film Tutar decides to be a journalist like Borat.
