The evolution of Pinky Ghelani

Pinky and family.

The ambitious teenager would wake up every morning and head to the retail shop. She had secured herself a job, and that filled her with great pride. She badly wanted to succeed, and her eye was on radio. She wanted to be a household name in Kenya. And so, while working the counters, she sent job applications to various radio stations, and amidst the numerous rejections, came a Yes. To start on the graveyard shift -- almost literally because, how many people are listening to radio between 11pm and 1am?

But she passionately did it anyway. Well, they say good work eventually gets recognised, and she finally landed at Capital FM, and that is when Kenyans awakened to the fact that the trendy, and savvy Pinky Ghelani had arrived. Her star shown for years, but she had to redefine her path. She was older now and her personal life had taken her through the wringer.
