Madhuri's many moods
Year 1996-97
Costume: Arjun Khanna
Make up: Michelle
Hairstylist: Michelle
This shoot was for fashion designer Arjun Khanna. The other person who was joining Madhuri on this shoot was Arjun Rampal. He was very nervous that he was posing with the most popular actress in Bollywood. He had just signed Moksh then.
To make him feel comfortable, Madhuri told him he is a better model and he would be more comfortable doing all this stuff and she should be the one nervous!
Still, Arjun could not relax. Madhuri too was not comfortable with the costume because it was a full-length dress and very heavy to carry. She was also wearing brocade and her hairdo was a high bun.
Arjun was standing just behind me watching Madhuri, as he wanted to see how comfortable she was in front of a camera. As soon as Madhuri started shooting she was flawless. There was pin drop silence. Everybody was in awe of her. Arjun was zapped. Her chemistry with the camera was remarkable.
Arjun was so nervous that he could not give the right expressions and we somehow got just two good photographs of them together.
