    Celebrity stylist Sanam Ratansi is known for turning around a celebrity's style aesthetic for good. With a long list of Bollywood celebrity clientele which includes the likes of talent like Saif Ali Khan, Alaya F, Zaheer Iqbal, and Aditi Rao Hydari, Sanam Ratansi works in a way to highlight their individual personalities while styling their outfits. We caught up with her recently to learn more about her journey as a stylist. 
    1. When did you first know that you wanted to pursue a career in fashion styling?
    I always knew that I wanted to do something related to fashion. I remember even back in school when asked what I would like to be when I grow up I would always say, fashion designer. At the time, I didn’t know that styling was a career option. I didn’t know it for a while until film and celebrity styling became a big thing. Eventually when I realized that this was something I wanted to explore I didn’t really know how it worked. I was briefly introduced to Anaita by a friend and then there was no looking back!
    View this post on Instagram2. During college, were you torn between other related fields that you could have taken up? 
    As I said, my interests were always in fashion and doing something around it. Honestly, I was always strongly inclined towards styling.
    3. Can you talk about the first internship? What was your first job like?
    Assisting Anaita was my very first job opportunity and I continue to be part of the style cell family even today! 
    4. How is editorial styling different from celebrity styling? Which one do you prefer?
    I think I enjoy both; however, there are a few differences between the two of them. With editorial styling, timelines are a little better, and the brief is quite outlined. While celebrity styling can be stressful in terms of timelines, there are last-minute events and hence sourcing the best option can be complicated sometimes.
    View this post on Instagram5. When did you decide that it was time for you to start freelancing?
    I started my career working with Anaita Shroff Adjania and I’m still very much part of her company Style Cell. I was very keen to get into styling, didn’t know how it worked, or any stylists from the industry. 
    It was one of my friends who introduced me to Anaita when she was styling Deepika Padukone for a brand’s ad, I remember speaking with her very briefly and she then asked me to stick around the shoot to understand how all of this worked. And since then there has been no looking back.

    6. What are the challenges that one typically faces with freelancing?
    Timelines can be stressful sometimes. Events get confirmed overnight without warning, so sourcing the best options can be complicated. Brand shoots quite often have requirements at the last moment. It’s also tricky sometimes to find a balance between what the client/director requires and what aesthetically works for the actor and getting those two in line. 
    Ra-One was my first project assisting Anaita when she was styling Shah Rukh Khan, and after that, the ball kept rolling, there was one project after the other. 
    View this post on Instagram7. What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a stylist and someone who is just starting out freelancing?
    Styling as an industry is growing and evolving every day, watch out for new trends, get inspired, and learn to experiment. Every day is a new learning! And for someone who is starting out freelancing, things can get intimidating at times but always believe in yourself. It’s a world full of opportunities, take one day at a time. You can also assist someone with experience or someone you look up to and learn from them. 
    View this post on Instagram8. What's the one tip you would give to people for negotiating money as a freelancer?
    Honestly, I would be a terrible person to answer that because I’m very uncomfortable negotiating and speaking about money. But I feel like if you work long and hard enough and gain enough experience after a point you can ask for a certain amount, then maybe you don’t need to negotiate. People will find it worthwhile to pay for your time and efforts. 
    That’s a nicer way to start with your freelancing projects, with experience comes good money rather than you negotiating for it in the early stages. 
    View this post on Instagram9. As someone who wants to switch careers and enter the field of styling, what's the first step that they should take?
    Assist, assist, and assist some more! Start with assisting someone whose work inspires you and learn from them on the job.
    View this post on Instagram10. What do you think is the future of fashion magazines in India?
    While the world is going digital, fashion magazines are still educational and inspirational. Maybe with time, they’ll adapt to newer ways to outshine, but fashion magazines are surely here to stay!
    View this post on Instagram11. What would you say is the difference between styling men and women?
    There are a lot more styling options available for women as against what's available for men. I enjoy styling women a lot more, and they are a lot more particular about what they wear than men. Most men keep it easy, breezy, and relaxed and it’s something I like about their styling. Nowadays, men are open to experimenting more with their style and it also helps any stylist to go all out in terms of styling them.
    View this post on Instagram12. Who would you say is your favourite celebrity to style?
    I enjoy styling them all. However, Aditi Rao Hydari has been a constant in my life for a while now. We have an instinctive bond of trust that was almost instant when we first met and has only strengthened over time. Fittings with her can go on for hours because she is willing to try everything I bring to her. We enjoy the whole process and decide on the look together.

    The amount of solidarity we've seen among all the artists and sportspersons from Punjab and Haryana is absolutely praiseworthy. Everyone is standing with the farmers and protesting against the farm laws until and unless the government actually listens to them and their qualms about the new farm laws.

    The Olympic winning boxer took part in the protest at Delhi's Singhu border, where Diljit was also present yesterday and promised to return one of the biggest honour bestowed upon him if the laws weren't repealed.

    Promising to return India's highest sporting honour, he said at the protest, "If the government doesn't withdraw the black laws, I will return my Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award."

    It'll happen soon.
    Now Boxer Vijender Singh has threatened to return his Khel Ratna.

    At this rate, Modi govt will soon enter Guiness Book for the highest number of awards collected.

    ( .@boxervijender ) Leading by example by going on ground and supporting farmers!#FarmersBill2020 is a growing concern. It's time we understand that farming is the backbone of our nation.#VijenderSingh #FarmerProtest #FarmersAreLifeLine pic.twitter.com/UDSt9ThMm5

    This year has changed almost every single thing in everyone's life. People who have been privileged enough to keep their jobs have been working from home since March and the pandemic has literally changed the shape of work culture forover.
    Keeping aside the dread and uncertainty that 2020 has brought, most of us have been enjoying working from home for a few reasons; no need for proper clothes, now all work is done sitting in bed and wearing pajamas.

    And, even the biggest entrepreneurs of the country have taken to the comfort living while working from the comfort of their homes.

    Right at the beginning of lockdown, Anand Mahindra shared a meme about the expectations vs reality of WFH and confessed he has attended several meetings while wearing a lungi.
    On a lighter note, this is from my #whatsappwonderbox. And I have a confession to make:On some Video Calls from home, I DID wear a lungi under my shirt. Didn’t have to stand up at any point during the meetings, but I suspect my colleagues may ask me to do so after this tweet! pic.twitter.com/e1IElefNaa
    — anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) April 5, 2020
    Understandable, who wouldn't want to be that comfortable.
    And, the lungi discussion has now continued. He shared another meme showing the sad new reality of our life, just sitting in front of a computer the entire day.
    What a nightmare. Not a future I’m ready to accept. When I saw this meme I jumped out of my chair & vowed to monitor & limit the time I spend in a chair in front of a screen every day... pic.twitter.com/HI0biamJ09
    — anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) December 5, 2020
    It's actually a wake-up call for everyone to get up and stretch. But, a lungi does make things a little better.
    He's now the leader of the lungi movement and people are here for it.
    You’re preaching to the converted. I’m a leader of the Lungi movement. https://t.co/g2rsIAAFmv
    — anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) December 5, 2020
    People are quite invested in his lungi preferences.
    Which brand do you use? Handloom? Chequered? Printed? Is the ends are stitched together? I mean "open ended"! And do you try to fold it up occasionally? South India has best lungies.
    — Krishna Prakash (@mkprakash) December 5, 2020
    But, he's still an Indian in India.
    , reminds me of the below quote!

    You can take an Indian out of India, but you can never take India out of an Indian
    — Life coach 2020 (@Kumar19723) December 5, 2020
    Making lungis proper formal attire?
    Haha I'm very well aware sir. I'm looking to make a permanent lungi crossover.
