Glamorous Intelligent Desi La-Di-Dah Girl Tara Sharma | Photos | Movies List

British Indian model-actress Tara Sharma, most popularly known as the "la-di-dah" girl, is an intelligent and pretty Desi (see photo below)! But before we feature her profile, let us first explain the term "desi" for the benefit of our non-Indian readers especially because Bollywood has already reached worldwide popularity.


According to Merriam and Webster dictionary, the term is both an adjective (local or indigenous) and a noun (someone who is of Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi birth or descent who lives abroad). Some people use the said word to also include the peoples from Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and Maldives.
