About this collection
People saw a BMS degree and expected a desk job; I saw a future in mehndi. It meant swapping corporate life for packed Mumbai trains, learning from experts in Ahmedabad, and practicing until my hands ached—because for me, this isn't just a design, it is my livelihood.
I started by doing what everyone else was doing, but I quickly realized that if I wanted to stand out as a mehndi artist, I had to master the craft properly. That led me to train under the best in the industry in Ahmedabad, earning my certification and the confidence to stop being just a 'mehndi wali' and become a professional.
My classroom at Mulund isn't just about drawing lines; it's about teaching young women how to build their own business. I share the reality of the work—the long hours, the travel, and the technical side of mixing organic henna paste—so my students leave with more than just a certificate. They leave with a business mindset.
Whether you are a bride looking for custom storytelling in your bridal mehndi or a student wanting to learn from the ground up, know that my approach is rooted in hard work. I use only my own organic, skin-safe cones and I treat every client, whether for a small festival event or a grand wedding, with the same dedication. If you are ready to learn or book a session, let’s get to work.
