On 18th April, 2020, veteran journalist of Indian-origin, Gulshan Ewing, died of COVID-19, in London, at the age of 92.
Over a 30-year career in journalism, Gulshan Ewing served as the Editor of two leading Indian magazines — ‘Star & Style’ and ‘Eve’s Weekly’, which catered primarily to women. A high-profile society journalist, Gulshan was known to be on first-name terms with leading actors and politicians of her time, and interviewed some of the most iconic celebrities from around the world, rubbing shoulders with greats including Gregory Peck, Cary Grant and Ava Gardener, as also royalty.
Gulshan was born in 1928 in Bombay to a Parsi family and enjoyed a glamorous lifestyle as a journalist, on first-name terms with India’s leading actors and politicians from the 1960s onwards. She married Guy Ewing, a UK-born, fellow journalist based in India, in 1955 and moved to England in 1990, living in Richmond after retirement. Guy died of cancer in 2018, at the age of 87.
As per the English tabloid, Daily Mail, Ewing’s daughter Anjali, also a journalist based in London, said three interviews stood out for her mother — Gregory Peck, Cary Grant, and Danny Kaye, whom she found very charming. “She loved imitating Cary Grant’s accent,” Anjali shared.
She had no pre-existing health conditions. She started showing symptoms more than a week before her death, but it wasn’t until the 15th of April that her sample was collected and delivered to the laboratory two days later, according to the tabloid. Coronavirus was confirmed as her cause of death, a day after she had died.
She has been receiving a large number of glowing tributes from celebrities across the world on social media.
