This Indian origin girl first had Rihanna follow her on Instagram, then she flew down to LA to meet the popstar, befriended her, became one of her henchwomen in kidnapping a woman whose accountant husband aka Bitch had run away with Riri’s money!

Whether they got back the money, we don’t give a damn! But man, who is the desi girl?!

While the video is being criticized for glamorising violence and its anti-feministic undertone, this girl’s care-a-damn look is getting her all the attention. Here’s her real life Cinderella tale:

How Rihanna found Sanam

Three months ago Sanam aka trustmedaddy got a notification that @badgirlriri started following her Instagram account. Her joy knew no bounds! But she never had the frigging fanciful idea that the popstar would find her so cool that she would, one day, invite her to play a part in her music video! Also she never had the glass shoes! But her Cinderella moment did arrive. It was the day when she got a message from Riri. In an interview, she says:

“I got a DM from her on Instagram. She was like, ‘Hey, I have this idea I want to run by you. I think you’re so fucking rare. Let me know if you’re interested’. I had no idea what she was talking about. I was just freaking out, because Rihanna is messaging me on Instagram, telling me that she thinks I’m cool.

Then I got another message from someone who works for the production company that made the video, and they were like, ‘We want to put you in Rihanna’s video! Send us an email or give us a call’. At first, I was just like, This can’t be real. This is really weird. I don’t know about this. But I ended up getting in touch with the guy who messaged me and it was all legit. I spent my entire day at work going back and forth talking to them. At the end of the day, they were like, ‘We just got the confirmation from Rih: We want to cast you, and we want to fly you out tomorrow’. And I flew down there the next day.

She followed me on Instagram on a Wednesday night, and then I was in LA on Friday morning. It was crazy…”

Sanam is quite a find! Check out her super cool nath (nose ring), jhukmas (earrings) and maang tika (head harness)! Want to know from where she gets her Indian inspiration? Her Instagram display picture says it all:
