What Makes Kalyani Saha So Fabulous

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

joined
the
luxury
brand

and
took
over
its
marketing
and
communications

Throwback
to
when
young
Kalyani
was
invited
by
the
late
Maharaja
Sawai
Bhawani
Singh
and
Maharani
Padmini
Devi
of
Jaipur
for
a
dinner
reception
held
for
Prince
Charles.

in
2016.

The
entrepreneur
now
runs
a
luxury
home
decor
and
gifting
brand

For
those
unversed,
Kalyani
had
a

of
