You’ve been Kriti Sanon’s go-to makeup artist - how did the journey begin?

I met Kriti at a time when I had just come back from filming Baahubali and had been busy for a long time. I remember I got a call to fill in for someone for Kriti, and that’s when we got offered Bareilly Ki Barfi. We didn’t know each other at all, and one thing led to another. We were very quiet during the first half of the film’s schedule. It was on the 15th or 16th day that we broke the ice, and the rest is history. We’ve just connected and become best friends. Even after the film, we continued working together. Then we started doing work on other formats, be it advertisements or events. It’s been almost a decade of us working together now.

There are a lot of peachy and pink colour palettes seen in Kriti’s makeup looks - what are her preferences like when it comes to her glam beauty looks?
