And while one option was safe, the other was risky and unknown! I never, even for a second, doubted my decision, even when I was doing three things. I started nursing during the day, was at a makeup school in the evening, and was working at a bar at night. I certainly had this realization quite early that a career in makeup involves hard work.

With those eyelashes, big beehive hair, when we started the shoot we didnt even know where we were heading and then Aishwarya just looked at the clothes and said do what you think is right. And it was decided in five minutes and it was very spontaneous, which I find in India very often.
