The Dior-to-Drama Jum
Mumbai, Oct 31
A Delhi-based Bengali Fashion icon who got married & divorced to a famous restaurateur (who owns a stake in Punjab Grill) and came into limelight in a recent reality show Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, has now become a hot gossip among high-flying socialites in their post Diwali parties in Mumbai and Delhi.
She isn’t your usual reality-show spark plug, she’s more soft-spoken Chanel than loud Versace, or as many call it strategic silence. Maybe that’s her power move. After all, anyone who’s handled luxury marketing for Dior knows the value of understatement. “On-screen, she’s the calm in a sea of chaos but behind that poise lies a shady tale of climbing up the corporate ladder,” a source close to her told Bizz Buzz. Little birdies from her circle call her journey an uninspiring tale of a “desperate woman hiding her real self behind the mask of sophistication”. In many ways, she embodies the so-called celebrity born from carefully managed mystiques, if one goes by this source close to her family.

Kolkata roots, Parisian polish and Delhi party lists, her social resume could rival that of a royal. But her sources speculate whether she’s an insider or a self-made strategist who learned the codes of high society faster than most are handed. It’s a reminder of how lineage, aesthetics and networking all merge into a new kind of power currency, even if it comes at a cost of someone’s marriage. Ring a bell? Well, she reminds of the ongoing high profile inheritance battle in Delhi HC where her own friend is making headlines for her ugly moves to usurp her late husband’s Rs 30,000 crore estate that rightfully belongs to his children from her first marriage. Women of power or homewrecker besties? After all, while one got wine thrown on her face for dating someone’s husband, another broke a happy marriage for greed. Well as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together!
