Shobhaa D茅
Born six months after Independence, at 76, Shobhaa Dé is as old as free India itself.
An iconic model in her youth, she remains beautiful to this day. She has spent a lifetime chronicling India’s story - writing three national columns in The Times of India, Asian Age and The Week. Her column 'Politically Incorrect' has been running for 40 years.
Irreverent, sharp and outspoken, she continues to hold her own as a media personality, fifty years after she began her career. Shobhaa has whip-smart opinions on everything from Slumdog Millionaire to the Kama Sutra, and with 25 hit novels to her name, she has been consistently shocking polite society in India since the 1990.
She describes India as a multi-armed, multi-headed goddess whose future is unstoppable.
