My Journey and Achievements in Henna Art
From defying expectations to winning awards, this is the story of how I turned my passion for henna into a career I love.
15 years as a henna artist, and I am proud to admit it. I love my job and the path I have carved for myself.
People said this career has no future. Here I am, finishing my 500th bride. Alhamdulillah, I have come a long way.
I am very 'mehnati' (hardworking). The real joy is in the work itself. This is my passion, and I love being busy creating beautiful designs.
People ask where I learned to do such good mehndi. The skill is in my hands, a talent I've nurtured without any formal course myself.
That happiness when people appreciate your work. Receiving an award from Ashiana Old Age Home was a truly overwhelming and grateful moment.
Being facilitated for my work is always an honor. Thank you to the Ashiana Awards for this recognition.
A smile of gratitude while receiving the award. Moments like these make all the hard work worth it.

Another award for my work. I am so grateful for every recognition I receive on this journey.
Do what you love, and you will never live a sad day in your life. This is me, in my element, doing what I'm most passionate about.
About My Journey & Achievements
Many people ask how I built a career out of henna design, and honestly, the secret is just consistent practice and loving the craft. When you visit my BTM Layout studio for a class or service, you are not just getting a pattern drawn on your skin; you are getting the result of 15 years of learning, experimenting with natural pastes, and understanding exactly what makes a stain look rich and dark for your big day.
It was not always easy. People often questioned why I chose to be a henna artist after finishing my education, but I knew that the joy I found in creating floral vines and bridal motifs was worth more than a traditional desk job. I call myself 'mehnati' because I truly am; I cannot sit still unless I am working, and that energy goes into every bridal assignment and student I train.
Building a Reputation in Bengaluru
Today, my studio in BTM Layout is where I share these skills. Whether it is a bride wanting intricate Taj Mahal figures or a student wanting to master the basics of paste mixology, my approach remains the same: I break down complex Gulf and Indian styles into simple steps.
Why I Teach
I do not believe in gatekeeping. I want to build a community. That is why I organized the first-ever Mehendi Contest in Bangalore and why I stay active in sharing tips on everything from nail polish color pairings to aftercare science. If you see my gallery and wonder about the details behind the work, know that every photo represents a conscious choice to prioritize quality, organic ingredients, and a personal connection with every client. Whether you are looking to book a service or join a course, you are coming to someone who treats this art as a way of life.
