But when Nayak came into the picture, well, the blond was history. They have been married since September.

Nayak reads astrological signs, although she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not a fervent believer.<\/blockquote>\n\n<blockquote>During college at Virginia Tech, she and a friend wrote blurbs on astrological signs for the Eccentric, a student newspaper \u00e2\u20ac\u201d they were called the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153psychic sisters.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/blockquote>\n\n<blockquote>At any rate, she doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t look one bit \u00e2\u20ac\u0153psychic.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>What the H-E-double-toothpicks does a &#8220;psychic&#8221; look like?  Enough with this paranormal profiling!<\/p>\n\n<blockquote>The first-generation American from an Indian family twirls her dark, curly hair, which her friends have compared to singer-model Toni Braxton\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s locks.<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Let me channel &#8220;<em>chip-on-her-shoulder-Auntie<\/em>&#8220;: &#8220;Vy they had to compare her to Toni Braxton?  Minnie Driver also has such hair!  Harrumph!
