Devyani Chaubal (1942-13 July 1995) was an Indian journalist and columnist. She was born into a rich family; her father was a prosperous barrister. Chaubal was a film gossip journalist, and among the first in Indian film journalism to have a poison pen and insinuate a lot in her columns. Until her arrival, Indian film journalism had been largely free of accusation and gossip. She wrote in a film magazine called Star and Style. She had a lot of credibility and her "gossip" (delivered in a column called "Frankly Speaking") was always researched and had credible sources.[citation needed] The column was also carried in Eve's Weekly.
Chaubal was the first writer to use Hinglish in her English works.[1] Shobha De then began to use Hinglish elements in her novels.
She is credited for starting the career of Rajesh Khanna.
