I finally got the first proper photoshoot of mah lyf for stand up done, because we had been using the same terrible picture for all my shows for the last four years (fun fact – the photo was done for some brand campaign in 2015 where I was wearing clothes borrowed from the photographer because I showed up in nightsuit) I was super apprehensive but I needn’t have been because the pictures were taken by rockstar @daakujaisingh who specialises in photography and confidence boosting phrases. (Also edited to perfection by @revaraver who is art itself) Styled by @aninditasinghvi Clothes: @hm_india Looking forward to using this photo for the next 4 years!
