India

I am an explorer of ideas and stories, of tastes, and of the human psyche. I am a writer and editor with over 8 years of experience in dealing with content related to news, entertainment, lifestyle, and pop culture. I have worked with print and digital media organizations in India as a Feature Writer and Assistant Editor.

I am passionate about digital news/storytelling products for people who want to be informed, enlightened, and entertained.

I have done over 500 interviews so far - from Bollywood industry veterans like Paresh Rawal and Aruna Irani, to new-age stars like Sonam Kapoor and Ayushmann Khurana, international artists, child actors, movie directors, sportspersons, music composers, indie bands, chefs like Vikas Khanna, and many more celebrities.
