We first got to know fashion influencer Avantika Mohan when she married bestselling author Durjoy Datta in 2016. Datta famously proposed to her on Twitter through his fans, as she was on a flight. "You made me famous with your article," she giggles over the phone from Dubai, where the couple now resides, referring to the article this writer did at the time. It's been three years since then, and the couple have a baby, Rayna, and Mohan is now a bona fide celebrity in her own right with 136K followers. Her main job, though, is being a flight attendant—and she had been flying for almost a decade before the grand proposal and fairytale wedding. And, even though many of Datta's 321K followers added to Mohan's growing tribe, she has managed to maintain a solo identity. "Of course, Durjoy paved the path, but I don't make my Instagram about him. It's about me." But, they didn't try and make this Instagram uncoupling happen consciously. "I think our Instagram reflects who we are, and what we do. We're not together all the time. I fly a lot, and he's home a lot. Since we spend time separately, our lives are different. We don't put special posts to prove that we are together. We don't force each other, and do our own thing." Their feeds do clash when pictures of their adorable daughter crop up. "I am a much kinder person now thanks to my daughter. And on social media, how that helps me is that my fans are kinder to me. They say things like, 'You [are] fit for a mother.' Though, they also do ask me, who looks after the child when you are flying? And I say, 'Durjoy'."
