Early life

She gave a bottle-green and beige kantha stole to the then US Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton during her visit to Calcutta in May 2012. Paul handed it over to a member of her entourage as she could not give it to her personally. The former first lady acknowledged the gift and had a letter sent through the American Center director, Jeffrey K. Reneau.[5] The letter reads, “Dear Ms. Paul: Thank you for the beautiful shawls and blanket you gave me during my visit to Kolkata. Please know I appreciate your thoughtfulness and good cheer, and that you have my best wishes for continued success with your fashion design company.”[6]
