I use my Bharatanatyam abhinaya skills to bring emotion and storytelling into Indian ethnic fashion and jewelry modeling, making each shoot more than just poses.

About

I blend my love for Bharatanatyam with modeling, so every shoot for me is about bringing out emotion, not just striking a pose. Those years of abhinaya training really show up when I'm in front of the camera - it's all about telling a story, whether I’m draped in a classic handwoven saree or styling chunky temple jewelry.

My Modeling Vibe

  • Most at home in Indian ethnic wear, sarees, and fusion pieces. I get super excited when I get to work with fabrics and designs that feel rooted, especially when there's a story or some real craft behind them.
  • Saree photoshoot ideas? Count me in. Every saree's got a vibe of its own. I love playing with that.
  • Heritage jewelry model work is a big passion. I think jewelry really finishes the whole look and adds so much context to a frame.

How I Like to Collaborate

  • I vibe best with brands that care about heritage and artistry.
  • Shoots can be anywhere - studios, forests, beaches, city corners. I’m Bengaluru-based but always up for travel if the project feels right.
  • Teamwork is everything. Nothing beats the energy when everyone’s on the same page and having fun, ya.

Social Media & Beyond

  • I do a lot of work for social media fashion campaigns, making Reels or photo content that actually connects with people, not just looks good.

If you're looking for someone who brings a bit of soul to fashion storytelling, let's create something real.

My Story

Hey, I’m Shreema. Dancer, actor, model, sketch artist when the mood hits, and if you offer me chai, I’m yours. Been learning Bharatanatyam since I was four - my guru Praveen Kumar, he’s shaped everything. Ten years back, I wouldn’t have believed where I’d land. It’s been wild: survival, tiny dreams, disappointments, hope. I’m still figuring it out, honestly. Trusting the process, being kind to myself, and loving every bit of this journey.

My Work

What I do - I perform Bharatanatyam at events, act in films, and model. Sometimes all at once!

The real story behind the art - Grace on stage? Sure. But it’s mostly sweat, injuries, self-doubt, and some scheduling nightmares. Worth it, though.

My style - Dance means perspective. I mix traditional Padams with improv Bharatanatyam acts, sometimes giving mythology a modern twist.

Beyond just dance - I've danced on stages from UK to Saudi. Also acted in films like Ponniyin Selvan 2. Each one, a new adventure.
