Beauty Editor, Women’s Day

Shanti’s features are very reminiscent of Sophia Loren…huge almond-shaped eyes, sweeping brows, powerful cheekbones, full generous mouth and her jet black hair tumbles luxuriantly down her back. She spends minimum time caring for her skin and hair; maximum time relaxing, meditating, exercising and ‘sharing the total body experience of yoga’ with others.
