Ludhiana
girl storms the world of fashion Ludhiana, June 3 Though reticent by nature, she has shared her ideas through the media, especially fashion journals. Undoubtedly, she carved a niche for herself, despite the odds of natural competition and challenges of commercial calculations. She is currently working for the world-famous Jean Louis Scherrer. Paris-based fashion house. She is not only the first Indian to have had the honour of joining this House, but also the first Asian. A repeat of Kalpana Chawla, indeed. Chawla and Beri unite the best of science and arts in the western world as daughters of India. Ritu Beri’s ancestry is linked to Jassowal village. She is the daughter of Col Balbir Singh Beri. Her grand father, Dr Dharam Pal Beri, was a noted physician and surgeon. He worked with the World Health Organisation in East African countries. Master P.L. Gupta (Arya School/P.L. Printers) fondly remembers L. Bhagwan Dass, Dr Dharma Pal and Col. Balbir. He affectionately talks about Ritu as his own grand daughter. |
