30 Years of Iconic Bollywood Film Styling

Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na was such a cool, young, and fun film to work on. Genelia was a darling and loved her wardrobe, and Imran was just his real self. Styling for this film was a complete breeze.

Pyaar Ke Side Effects with Mallika Sherawat and Rahul Bose was a blast. Mallika was so much fun, and as soon as the camera was on, she was pure magic. They made an odd couple, but the on screen result was fantastic.

Throwback to Biwi No. 1 with Karisma Kapoor and Sushmita Sen. I remember Karisma was bleeding from a metal mesh top but was so professional. The chainmail tops we used are back in fashion again.

The song "Mehboob Mere" from Fiza changed how everyone looked at item songs. Sushmita Sen looked lovely and kicked ass. Karisma Kapoor, with no makeup, looked just stunning, and she won a National Award that year.

In 1999, I worked on Hum Saath Saath Hain. My favorite outfit was Sonali Bendre's in the "Maiyya Yashoda" song, where Saroj ji told me to make her look like an angel. It was a challenge dealing with so many heroines.

Josh was my first movie with Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. I had no assistant and styled the entire film myself. SRK's cuff earring became a rage, and Ash looked her absolute best with that Goa vibe.

A throwback to Ishq Vishk, styling a young Shahid Kapoor, Amrita Rao, and Shenaz Treasury. Designing for newbies has always been my strength. It was like dressing up little Barbie and Ken dolls.

My first ever Hindi movie as a costume designer was Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. The iconic red dress, inspired by Marilyn Monroe, became a national sensation. I am so thankful to Mansoor Khan for introducing me to the world of cinema.
