Mandira Bedi

Mandira Bedi strikes me as one of those figures who quietly expanded what was possible for women in Indian media. Landing the title role in Shanti at the dawn of satellite TV, then walking into the male-dominated world of cricket broadcasting as a presenter, took real nerve. What I admire most is her refusal to be boxed in: actor, model, designer, host. That restlessness can read as scattered, but I see it as someone determined to author her own path rather than wait for permission. Decades on, she still carries a current relevance that many of her peers have lost.
