Why Brides Love Veena Nagda?

Nagda spoke to Patcy N about these events, and why she’s so popular with the ladies… “I was born in a middleclass family in Mumbai. My mother was a housewife, and father a pujari. I wasn’t allowed to study after my SSC, even though I had passed with a first class, as ours is a conservative Jain family. So, I began doing embroidery on saris and practising the art of applying mehendi. That is how it all started. To cut a long story short, after applying mehendi at a few parties, I was invited to the Ambanis’ home. It was an engagement party, but they liked it so much that I was asked to do the bridal mehendi as well. From then on, the big orders poured in. Farah Khan, the daughter of Sanjay Khan, called me for her wedding. I had three other mehendis on that day though, so she asked me to begin at 7am. That was my entry into Bollywood. I have also done it for movies like Kabhie Khushie Kabhi Ghum, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Hum Tum and Kabhie Alvida Na Kehna. I got all my popularity because of Hrithik’s wedding. I don’t charge for celebrity weddings. They pay me according to their wishes and it has always been more than expected.”
