The formally unknown, one-named woman, Sanam makes it into Rihanna's BBHMM to gain massive online popularity.
So what do you do when Rihanna messages you directly on your Instagram account asking you to collaborate on a unspecified project? YOU SAY 'YESSSSS!' and that is exactly what Sanam did – landing her a dream role in Rihanna's music video to 'Bitch Better Have My Money' (BBHMM)
Here's 4 reasons why we love this new desi henchwoman and why we think she got the attention of the most famous pop divas on the planet right now.
1. WHEN SANAM LOOKED SO BADASS IT HURT

Clearly the moment all desis rejoiced, is the one where we realize one of our own sits just a few steps away from Rihanna in her most controversial music video to date.
2. SHE'S A PLANT SELLER

They say she was literally plucked out of obscruity, but she was a freaking plant seller and a bad ass one at that.
3. SHE'S NATURAL

She's brave and natural and not afraid to show it. We love her confidence and sense of self – probably what attracted Rihanna to her in the first place.
4. SHE'S DESI

Did I mention she's desi? I'm sure I did. We love that she is and shows if off!
