Bhumi tells us some of her earliest memories are being dressed up by the women in her family. “My mother, my maasi, my cousins, and our family friends Sajida kaki, Chintu and Farah. They’d put jewellery on me, dab on a little makeup, and click endless photos. My mother still laughs about how I’d start posing the moment I saw a camera,” she says.

She says her love for the camera, grew into a fascination for the performing arts.

Speaking about this photo she recalls, “One of these photographs, taken during Navratri, remains especially dear. Those early rituals of play and beauty planted something in me a curiosity for expression and transformation. At thirteen, I saved all my pocket money to buy my first set of makeup products, and I haven’t stopped experimenting since. I was a performer then, I’m a performer now.”
