About Production Styling & Costume Design
Giving Soul to Every Look
Fashion world toh glamorous lagta hai (Fashion world looks glamorous), but reality is, it's a grind. For me, styling is about making a character feel real through what they wear. I learned this craft from my mom, and her blessings push me every day.
Character Wardrobe Design in Film & TV
I dive deep into scripts and work with directors to build characters from scratch. Some moments I loved working on:
- Supriya Pathak in 'Raid 2' - simple sari, pure grace
- Govind Namdev as a Don - velvet robe, pure menace
- Ali Asgar’s 'buwaa' – funny aunt vibes, special draping
- Jai-Veeru retro look – bell-bottoms and denim jackets, pure nostalgia
Styling Beyond the Stars
I’ve styled legends like Hema Malini, Ranveer Singh, Ajay Devgn, but my job doesn’t end at leads. I’ve done costume look development for massive crowd scenes too – like styling 2,000 background artists in 2 hours during a chaotic Delhi shoot. Teamwork is everything.
Ads & Music Videos – The Fast Lane
TV ads and music videos need on-set styling for film with crazy speed. From flashy 'Gold Man' costumes to last-minute fixes for actors like Vijay Raaz, I deliver under pressure, no matter how tight the deadline.
How I Work
I’m not scared of hard work or messy shoots. If something needs fixing – even hair – I jump in. Sach kahun toh (Honestly), it’s not always glamorous, but majja hi majja hai (it’s all fun). My goal is simple: support the crew, nail the vision, and keep it real.

My Story
Maa, you left too soon. Miss you every day. She taught me everything—jo main aaj hu, sab kuch unki wajah se hai (all I am today is because of her). Her words echo, 'main teri beti banke aaungi.' Tried my best, maa, par nahi ho paya. Forgive me. Did your makeup like Sridevi, just like you wanted. Life’s full of unsaid things. Blessed with strong women—Ruchi Maa, Jyoti maam, Uma mam—sab ne kuch sikhaya. Grateful for every lesson, every struggle, every surprise.
My Work
Fashion Design, Celebrity Styling, Wardrobe Consulting - I style for films, TV ads, music videos. I also jump in for choreography and makeup if needed.

Living the Chaos - Long days, big laughs, 2000 junior artists ready in two hours—do ghante me nipataya. My team’s my Jai-Veeru.
Dream Projects - Styling Ranveer Singh—unreal! Doing Sridevi-inspired makeup, or makeup for little Lord Ram, every project is a blessing.
