MONICA DOGRA AND ANJALI SIVARAMAN
Monica Dogra and Anjali Sivaraman are similar in many ways-they are artists who let creativity take centre stage in their lives. Thus, it's hardly surprising that both have similar sensibilities at work.
"I believe it's easy to form a bond with someone you are working with, especially if it's a creative field where people are encouraged to express themselves and be a little more vulnerable and empathetic," says Sivaraman. "When you work together, you go through the daily grind, you understand each other better and where they are coming from, and so much more," she adds.
Dogra has a similar point of view. "I tour a lot as a musician, so it's super hard on my body if I don't love being around whoever is managing me or travelling with me," Dogra tells ELLE India.
In Sivaraman's case, she has formed close friendships with many people she met at work. It's also the way adult friendships are fostered, she adds. "As you grow older, it's harder to make new friends, but the friends you make are the ones you make through work."
Dogra believes she's a 'girls' girl' since she loves being around women who have great taste and are powerful. "For me, my life and work are completely integrated. I don't play a role somewhere and live my life separately. My art is my life," she shares.
One of the prerequisites for her to collaborate with someone is their enthusiasm. If she notices lack of energy, Dogra doesn't consider them a match. However, her equation with Sivaraman has been far from that. They have been on stage together twice, and Dogra loves her vibe.
