This is such a fun, light-hearted story. After all the heavy news, it's refreshing. Nia has always had a distinct fashion sense, good to know Shakira played a part. Wishing her the best on Splitsvilla!
Respectfully, while I enjoy Nia's work, I feel articles like this are a bit trivial. There are so many important issues in our country. Can't blame Shakira for everything! 😅
"Whenever, Wherever" is an iconic song! It's fun to see how pop culture from the West influences our Indian stars. Nia's gothic glam look is definitely memorable.
Good for her. It's nice when celebrities share these personal, relatable moments. MTV was a huge part of our childhood too. All the best to her for the new season!
