Sasha is a Kpop and Kdrama writer at SK POP. Deeply enthusiastic about the Korean entertainment sphere, she strives to offer well-rounded insights on developments in the field that necessitate closer inspection. From reporting on how K-pop distributors are run by cult-leaders to unpacking what inspires fan activities like sending protest trucks to K-pop agencies, Sasha has delved into various aspects of K-pop and its local and global influences.

With a Bachelor's in Mass Media and a Master's English, her educational background helped her develop skills in research, content writing, creative writing, and long-form journalism.

Her professional journey has instilled in her the importance of fact-checking, and she believes in assessing contrasting perspectives and accurately reporting on them. Cognizant of how translations can be easily misconstrued, Sasha likes to verify with multiple sources to confirm any news, especially ones that address an artist’s personal life.

Despite being wary of idolizing any person, Sasha finds BTS' RM, aka Kim Nam-joon, to be the most inspiring personality in her field of interest. Another artist she admires is Freddie Mercury, the frontman of Queen, whose legacy and flamboyance she envies.

Sasha works at a bookstore in Mumbai, where reading is a major part of her job and a source of joy for her inner child. Outside of work, she likes to sing off-key to her favorite pop-songs from the 2010s and experiment with toppings for instant ramen.
