Four-time National Award-winning and three three-time Filmfare winning Veteran Art Director Nitin Desai is once again a Newsmaker. This time for organising the MahaUtsav to bring out the art,  culture and heritage  of Maharashtra  encompassing a musical  tribute to Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar at the sprawling 52 acre ND Film Studios at  Karjat.

On from April 28-May 1 (11am-10pm), the  art, culture, drama,movies, food and films, the MahaUtsav as the name suggests promises workshops, fashion et al as well. The Glitterati of Tinsel Town will obviously descend at the Festival, given Nitin Desai’s illustrious career  spanning over two decades with cult films like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Lagaan, Devdas, 1942 — A Love Story,  Jodhaa Akbar, Parinda, Khamoshi, Maachis, Slumdog Millionaire, Such A Long Journey,   and recent megastarrers like Prem Ratan Dhan Payo among many others.  Nitin Desai is revered and appreciated for his work with directors like Ashutosh Gowarikar, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Sooraj R Barjatya,  Rajkumar Hirani and Sanjay Leela Bhansali among others.

Considering that this festival is a tribute to the glorious  history of Maharashtra, looks like we are in for a colourful cultural extravaganza to welcome the post covid era.

Sneha Mundkur is a Fashion Stylist and a Designer. She did her Fashion Styling from Fad International Pune in 2011.In the initial start of her career she has assisted and interned with many known stylists from this field.This helped her learn,grow and mould herself into the stylist she is today.In 2012 she established her brand SSM -Stylist Sneha Mundkur.

She did some short courses with  London School Of Trends in the recent years to keep herself updated.

Not many know this about her but she has been designing and styling for friends and family since 2002.But has been an outstanding Illustrator from the age of 12.She quoted “I remember when my father passed away in 1999,my world had shattered(I was just 11)… But it was my doggies and my love for illustration and fashion that really pulled me through it all.My mother would support me by getting all the stationary I required even when times were difficult.”

I remember people telling me ‘that the fashion world isn’t for people like you(Fat,Soft Hearted Empaths) and that you won’t survive in it’.

With no support system from this field who would understand Or help me cope, with all the body shamming, verbal and mental abuse I went through silently over the years(and actually I still go through it sometimes) … All I have to say to the haters everywhere is  that yes it wasn’t easy;you guys didn’t make it easy either but Thank You for that. You made me the fighter I am today,gave me the right kind of push and helped me with this mindset “that yes it isn’t easy but it isn’t impossible either” Which has not only helped me in my professional life but also in my personal life. I am proud of myself for having my own back, never giving up and to have not only survived but conquered silent battles at every stage. Now I just see it as lessons I had to learn from to grow as a person and were here to only make me better and stronger.

10yrs of survival in this field,all my hardwork and with all the good and bad experiences kept aside…when I see my clients content again…without any kind of insecurities, who can’t stop smiling due to the joy they’re feeling,being amazed at how they look and feel on the inside, seeing them falling in love with themselves all over again, acknowledging and understanding the importance of self-love and self-care…I would say that is the real success to me.

She has done several shoots since 2012 be it commercial, personal, wedding, food, product and prop styling.She has also been the Stylist for a marathi film and an assistant stylist for an upcoming bollywood film with an A-List bollywood star cast.She has done music videos, Ramp shows for Launches of Brands,been a model groomer who’s models have entered the marathi film and television industry,mentored many upcoming stylists and the list goes on.

The Essence of Styling is to Create and Make a Long Lasting Impactful Impression by Creating a Complete Look from Hair, Make Up, Attire, Footwear and Accessories that are In Tune with the Individual’s Personality, Comfort and is Apt for every event or occasion.

I Absolutely live by these quotes

• Empowered Women Empower Women.
• If your Content with who you are…. You are Confident.If your confident… You will be Comfortable with whatever you wear.When your comfortable with whatever you wear from head to toe you will not only make the complete look desirable but you become Impeccably Desirable to others . Recently Sneha has also joined WEE-Pune group.
