Yes, apparently she's a good friend of Sacha Baron-Cohen and they planned it together, without telling anyone.

Yes Dirk, did you go to his home town of Kusak?
So whats kazakstan acutally like then?
It's quite a patriarchial society (outside of larger towns/cities which tend to be westernised quite a bit). The banquet in honour of my foot consisted of all the men sitting/lying down on the floor with a huge spread of food & the wife kept comnig in to top up the plates with more unideinfitiable meat products. It didnt' matter that she had a baby in her arms she still did all the work.
Kazaks are supposedly predominately muslim, but from what I'd seen they just take bits of religion to suit their requirements.
The landscape's quite bleak & desolate - it's all steppe which means that nothing except for a few hardy plants grows on it. So, no trees to use the wood to make crutches.
The roads go from just sub-European to track within a kilometer (normally around the entrance/exit to a town/factory). Then you could get no road just mud up to your axles for the next 170 km. obviously, I didn't manage the 170km mud track as I'd had my misadventure by then.
Many houses in Kazakhstan are single story, esp outside the main towns. I stayed in a few places that had an outside loo. Cowboy style - a wood shack with a hole in the ground.
Kazaks are beginning to make multistory buildings - there's a huge Rennaissance Hotel being built in Atyrau. Unfortunately it's next to the river & the foundations don't look deep enough!
Kazak's are friendly enough, sometimes too friendly - my bike always attracted a large crowd. You're trying to pack up to do the next 300km stint & a large crowd start taknig photos/asking questions/sitting on your bike....or you're at a petrol station & suddenly a flash mob of Kazak school kids arrives....and then the petrol station's owner gets shirty because no-one can get in or out of the petrol station!
Drunks were a bit of a problem. They do like their vodka.
Yes Dirk, did you go to his home town of Kusak?
Looking at the movie, I'd say that Borat's hometown was fictional and even filmed outside of Kazakhstan - possibly Romania.
