==Personal life==
Singh was born in [[New Delhi]] in 1961; her father, Major Mahinder Singh Kadian, was an officer in the [[Indian Army]].

She won the Miss India crown in 1982 and represented India in the [[Miss Universe 1982|Miss Universe]] pageant the same year. She subsequently moved to Europe, where she met and married Henri Bordes.

Singh studied at [[Parsons School of Design]] in New York, the [[American University of Paris]], and the [[International Center of Photography]] in New York.<ref>Khosla, Surabhi.

==Allegations==
In the late 1980s Singh worked in a [[brothel]] which had provided one of British publicist [[Max Clifford]]'s clients with various services. Clifford asked the [[Procuring (prostitution)|madam]] to reveal details of her [[prostitute|girl]]s and clients, and found that one prostitute, Pamella Bordes, was simultaneously dating [[Andrew Neil]] (then editor of ''[[The Sunday Times (UK)|The Sunday Times]]''), [[Donald Trelford]] (then editor of ''[[The Observer]]''), Conservative minister for sport [[Colin Moynihan, 4th Baron Moynihan|Colin Moynihan]], and billionaire arms dealer [[Adnan Khashoggi]].<ref>Summerskill, Bill (28 July 2002).

The story was published in March 1989 under the headline "Call Girl Works in Commons", since it was discovered she had a [[House of Commons (UK)|House of Commons]] security pass arranged by MPs [[David Shaw (UK politician)|David Shaw]] and [[Henry Bellingham (Norfolk MP)|Henry Bellingham]].<ref name="IT 1989">{{cite magazine|last1=Tripathi|first1=Salil|last2=Flandrin|first2=Philippe|last3=Jain|first3=Madhu|last4=De Sarkar|first4=Dipankar|last5=Bobb|first5=Dilip|last6=Devadas|first6=David|authorlink6=David Devadas|last7=Karkaria|first7=Amrit|date=24 October 2013|orig-year=Originally published on 15 April 1989|title=Pamella Bordes' sexual escapades with high and mighty rock British establishment|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/special-report/story/19890415-pamella-bordes-sexual-escapades-with-high-and-mighty-rock-british-establishment-815974-1989-04-15|url-status=live|magazine=[[India Today]]|location=[[New Delhi]]|publisher=[[Living Media]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190610144631/https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/special-report/story/19890415-pamella-bordes-sexual-escapades-with-high-and-mighty-rock-british-establishment-815974-1989-04-15|archive-date=10 June 2019|access-date=10 June 2019}}</ref>

Clifford claimed Bordes was never his client, and that he earned his fee for "writing" the story, which ultimately served the purpose of saving the madam from any adverse publicity or court case.<ref name="biography">Max Clifford and Angela Levin ''Max Clifford: Read All About it!''
