Nafisa Ali

Nafisa Ali reads to me like a life lived in several lifetimes. Born in 1957 and raised in Mumbai, she first made her name as a competitive swimmer, then won Miss India and placed second runner-up at Miss International. From there she became a critically praised actress in films like Junoon, and later a politician and social activist with the Trinamool Congress. I am drawn to people who refuse a single label, and she wears at least five with conviction. Beauty, athletic discipline, artistic depth, and public service rarely live in one person. Ali's refusal to be boxed in is, to me, genuinely inspiring.
