2. Did you ever dream or think of being something else other than a designer?

Honestly, no. Designing allows me to experiment with various ideas and it’s quite a fulfilling experience.

3. Is there any specific reason you chose to become primarily a jewellery designer and not other areas of design?

It is my personal knack for creativity and passion with jewellery that has prompted me to get into jewellery design. The variety of options to try in jewellery is simply phenomenal.

4. What is your favourite colour or theme?

Aquamarine Blue or Shiny Silver. Theme is generally fusion of ethnic and Trendy/Fashion.

5. What / Who would you say is your biggest inspiration?

Collections of the Maharajas/Maharanis in Indian History. The jewellery of that level of beauty/elegance is yet to be seen among the more contemporary jewellery designers.

6. Who is your Number One fan?

Our darling 8 year old daughter, Anusha, is my biggest fan, model and the biggest source of Inspiration.

7. What are the best aspects of your work that you enjoy the most?

The flexibility to work whenever I want to, to apply my creativity in my work and the joy we get when we see some of the famous people like Gauhar Khan, Farha Khan and Kangana Ranaut wearing our creations, is incomparable to any other work.

8. What do you consider the biggest challenge you face today related to your work or design in general?

The speed, with which fashion trends change these days, makes it really difficult to keep pace. Also, the user base is so huge and divergent, that their needs are also very diverse.. It is a challenge to have something for everyone!!! The quality of material is also a constant challenge. With growing prices of raw material, it is difficult to keep the costs in check and we end up having to pass on the same to end customer :-(

9. Is there any design of yours you consider your best? Which one is it and why? 

I love all my designs. They are all my favourites. Would surely love to hear from others on their favourite and why they like it.

10. What is your vision for your work and design? 

Malaaga Ipad Bag
