What inspired you to be a make-up artist?
Well, I just happened to enroll myself to a hair and make-up course where I topped the class for two semesters and realised that I can get into Bollywood, and that is how I became a make-up artist.
What are the highlights of your career, so far?
Eiesha Mittal’s wedding, the masterclass with Jacqueline Fernandez in London and working with the international sensation, Amanda Cerny are the highlights! The Mittal wedding was my first breakthrough, and after that, I was lucky to have worked with international models and Bollywood actresses.
