Shalini Passi isn't the only one ruffling up feathers on Fabulous Lives VS Bollywood Wives.
Kalyani Saha Chawla is doing all that too!
So who is this Bengali beauty? Namrata Thakker finds out!
Born in Kolkata, Kalyani hails from an affluent Bengali family, deeply rooted in culture and heritage. She initially pursued her career in marketing and journalism while working at The Indian Express.
Later, Kalyani switched to fashion and opened her own little Boutique in Kolkata. She moved to Delhi and got married to Vishal Chawla whose parents created the Ravissant brand.
Though Kalyani and Vishal parted ways, they have a daughter named Tahira Tara Chawla, who currently works in London.
In Delhi, Saha started her own leather goods exporting company and managed to get big-shot clients like Zara, Jimmy Choo and Harrods.
She is also the co-founder of the fashion brand Lulu & Sky.
