Although famous sitarist Anoushka Shankar recently cancelled her tour dates outside of London, it wasn’t without good reason…

Check out this brilliant interview in Anokhi Magazine where she reveals personal insights into her life and work. 

I’m seriously considering buying the book she wrote about her father, Pandit Ravi Shankar!

the worst beauty misconception dark girls are fed is that they can’t experiment with their look

you can go as loud as you want

or keep it simple

stick to the neutrals

or go on all out galaxy chic

go out sultry

or go out sweet
