What made you pick this career?
I have been a dancer since my childhood, so I was more inclined towards makeup and used to do my own makeup. So it was naturally in me.
How do you handle competition?
I believe I have never had competition. I always look up to the best work of the other makeup artists. It could be anyone out there – I draw inspiration from them.
Must have makeup tools…
There was a time when I actually worked on someone with no tools! I used my fingers to create the entire look. But I need to have an angular eyeliner and the lip brush.
Your favorite quote?
Live and let live.
Motto you live by?
To make a person look beautiful, and have them satisfied and happy with my work.
Why do you work?
Because my love for beauty never dies. I like to enhance the features and make the person beautiful and happy. Creating something beautiful is an art worth pursuing, isn’t it?
Do you work for passion or money?
It definitely has to be passion. No matter what happens, at the end of the day I would like to be satisfied with the work I do and then expect people to feel happy about it. Money is also important but it only comes when you put in all your effort.
Dream celebrity to work with?
I would love to work on people in Bollywood – but that is only possible if I ever leave Hyderabad! (smiles) Given an opportunity I’d work on Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra and Sridevi Kapoor.
