The lady with a rose tucked in her hair! We found her once at BharatSthali sarees store along with the entire family. Her news reading and her style were impeccable and unique. She fondly remembers how she would get letters from poor husbands pleading her not to wear a new saree every day, for, the wives would demand the same from them!
She was handpicked from the AIR. Her command of the language and impeccable English accent thrust her to the fore. Her bob-cut hair and saree became a hot trend! For the uninitiated, she is the voice of Delhi Metro.
