I’ve reached the milestone of 80 years old and celebrated my 60th year in the entertainment industry – it still seems unreal to me as I reflect on this journey. My career has been primarily focused on public relations, working alongside the most prominent figures in the industry during their heyday. The Hollywood of yesteryear was shrouded in a web of secrets, yet I often find myself yearning for the enigma that surrounded icons such as Paul Newman, Robert Mitchum, Ali MacGraw, Diahann Carroll, Charlton Heston, and many more. Their allure lay primarily in their work and their strategic management of the press to promote their latest projects. This veil of mystery allowed me to orchestrate one of my most extraordinary accomplishments for a client, when I accompanied actress and photojournalist Gina Lollobrigida to Cuba in 1974 for an exclusive photoshoot and interview with Fidel Castro. As I watched Castro play basketball in an empty stadium, I couldn’t help but ponder how a girl from a small town in Virginia ended up in such an extraordinary setting.

This year, she’s set to venture into producing with Vasan Bala’s upcoming action-thriller, Jigra, where she also plays the main role. Despite her excitement about joining the team, the director felt a tinge of disappointment when Karan Johar shared the film’s early script with Alia.
