Besides building a prominent reputation in the Eve's Weekly and Star & Style for some 23 years, she had earlier begun her career with the Dosu Karaka-edited Current and later moved over to Femina, which was published by the Times of India group.[2] The Eve's Weekly was owned by the Somani group.

Tributes

Following her death in mid-2020, prominent Indian journalists who had worked with her around a generation earlier paid rich tributes to her memory. Among these was Sherna Gandhy's article in the Mid-Day.[citation needed]

She was born in Mumbai to a Parsi family. In 1955, she married an Englishman named Guy Ewing with whom she moved to the UK in 1990. She died of COVID-19-related complications in Richmond, London, on 18 April 2020.[3]
