The month of May was filled with all forms of excitement, heat and new endings. Okay – one at a time. Excitement – because I was shooting almost every day of the week. Heat – because oh well, it’s the hottest month of the year, totally humid, no sign of rain. New endings – because […]
April comes from the latin word, ‘Aperire’ – which means to open up. Likewise, the month of April was also about opening up for me. I met up with a number of my oldest and closest friends, opened up about a few things that were happening in my life. It’s beautiful to see how everyone […]
March was an extremely busy month for as it involved a LOT of traveling – mostly for shoots. First stop was Delhi – for a friend’s wedding. Then I went to Kochi where I attended one of the biggest events in advertising. I even got a bit of time to explore Kochi and you haven’t seen my […]
I am trying something different this year. If you have been following my blog and my past outfit posts, you’d know that I dedicate a shoot every month for an exclusive look. This requires putting together the entire ensemble right from the outfit to accessories, shoes and even handling production work like getting a good location, photography and post-production […]
2019 is a clean slate – a white canvas. We’ll be presented with 365 new days and 365 new opportunities. And it’s really up to us how we paint this white canvas. We can choose to leave it blank, add strokes of anxiety, despair and stress. While the latter is inevitable, we can also try and […]
There is literally no other time in the year quite like Christmas. The thing about Christmas is that – no matter which part of the world you are from, what religion/race you belong to, whether you technically celebrate it or not, we all happily give in to the cheer of Christmas. With the New Year […]
This Diwali, I decided to go for a dreamy update. I got this beautiful pink Punjabi suit from Melange and teamed it up with a golden dupatta and salwar. I kept my jewellery minimal with Kundan earrings and matching bangles. And I completed my look with a pair of golden mojaris. What I loved the […]
‘I don’t know why we all hang on to something we’re better off letting go off. It’s like we’re scared to lose what we don’t really have. Some of us say we rather have something than absolutely nothing. But the truth is – to have it halfway is better than to not having at all’. […]
Dress: Bombay Paisley by Westside Photography: Neha Bandodkar My birthday was last month and I received a lot of birthday wishes (I’m sorry I’ve yet to reply to all of them!!) and also a number of questions. One of the most interesting questions was – ‘is it worth it to follow your dreams’? Now before […]
Gown: Deme by Gabriella Accessories: Westside Heels: Tormally Photography: Stendor Sorout It’s that time of the year again – Lakme Fashion Week 2018. I got a chance to attend Kunal Rawal & Urvashi Kaur’s shows. If you follow me on Instagram, you would have seen my stories on LFW! But as you might know, Lakme […]
The first 6 months of 2018 are over! I hope they turned out well for all of you. As for me, I guess they have been better than I expected. You must have seen the number of gigs I’ve been posting on my instagram. I hope the road ahead is even better than the last […]
I was coming back home from the gym when it started to rain the other day. The first rain of the year in Mumbai, after months. I was not prepared at all. I found a tiny tea stall near my gym and I quickly ran in for shelter. Usually I do carry an umbrella but […]
Now, that it is summer, you’ll start to notice yellow popping up all over Instagram. Call it mustard, marigold, or lemon — all these tones fall under the yellow category. Earlier this year, fashion runways saw brands like Balenciaga and Calvin Klein showcasing their bright yellow collections. Bloggers, celebrities and models ditched the silver, black […]
Once every few months, I find myself standing face to face with the demons of existential crisis. Everything I do seems to be punctuated with a question mark. Everything around me seems utterly meaningless. It’s all a blur. The only thing that remains with me is my love and belief in things that I am […]
I love attending weddings. I have hosted several of them too. To me, a wedding is something personal. Something that is to be shared with the people who are dear to you. Sometimes, I don’t see the point of grand rituals and celebrations. There is often a lot of hype on how extravagant the setup […]
When I was a teenager, I remember saving up, days prior to Valentine’s Day, making mandatory trips to the nearby gift store, creating paper greeting cards, putting on my favourite hair band and heading to Mcdonald’s to meet my high school date. Today of course, mushy posts on social media have replaced greeting cards. The […]
2017 was very eventful. A lot happened, a lot changed. From anchoring on television to acting in short films, writing for magazines, doing ads, events, shoots, theatre – omg! There is this sudden, brewing excitement in me as I finally see myself slowly, moulding my life the way, I always envisaged it. Little did I […]
I am a vintage girl. I wished I belonged to a different time period – 60s, 70s. I love everything about old school. As I was clearing my laptop data, I chanced upon some photos which I had shot for Harper’s Bazaar Singapore, four years back. At that time, I had no idea what a […]
The sweet melody of monsoon is better than any music. The pitter-patter on my window panes alone eases away stress and makes everything outside look calm and quiet. I love the sound of rains. The sound of rain is the sound of water… sound of nature… and sound of life. Have you ever wondered why […]
Am I a fashion week regular yet? Hmm, I don’t know but I definitely enjoy attending all seasons of Lakme Fashion Week. Earlier this year, I did a vlog on how I spent my entire day at Lakme Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2017. And last week, I had the opportunity to attend Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive […]
Shooting is so much fun and I always enjoy looking though footages clicked on location/sets and behind the scenes. A couple of weeks back, I shot for a short film and while I can’t talk much about the project, I’m really excited to tell you about these lovely looks that I styled in collaboration with Vero […]
Usually on the first day of New Year, I often reflect and set out my goals for the upcoming 12 months. As I begin 2017, I have nothing much to really outline apart from having a sense of gratitude for all that I went through last year. 2016 wasn’t an easy year and as I […]
