THE WOMAN BEHIND MADHURI'S STYLE

Meet, Shaina Nath. She is the woman behind Madhuri's classy wardrobe. The one who perhaps knows best when it comes to the divas style. Shaina got Madhuri to wear Anju Modi's Couture..Infact after Madhuri returned from Denver this time for good, We have mostly spotted the actress wear the Anju Modi label only

Not many know that Shaina is the daughter of Madhuri's long time manager Rakesh Nath (Rikku's) daughter. She is humble and concentrates quietly on her craft without dropping names. She lets her work do the talking. To the extent that there is a Fan page on Facebook which she recently discovered. With above 400 fans supporting the webpage. Shaina is certainly on a roll and how.

Shaina Nath's Stylings for Madhuri Dixit Nene

A lot of twitter followers who are ardent fans of the iconic actress posted questions on my twitter page asking Shaina to talk about Madhuri's Wardrobe.

As a young stylist, Shaina deals with quiet a challenge. She has to ensure that the actress never steps out looking anything less than perfect. From stylish hair-dos to interesting drapes. Everything has to be picture perfect, with no room for criticism..

Here is a small interaction that I had with Shaina when I caught up with her at the recently concluded Couture Week in delhi.

Q - We have seen Madhuri wear a lot of Anarkali's & Sarees only on Jhalak. When will she experiment with something else?

Shaina  - I am doing Jhalak Dikhlaja right now. I have to follow a strict demand from the channel. They want me to use a lot of Anarkali's and sarees for Madhuriji.

Q - When will we see Madhuri experiment with Western wear?

Shaina - I would love to experiment more with western but not on Jhalak, as that is not what the channel wants. But on another platform, I would certainly consider giving Madhuri a more western look. She looked lovely in the ivory dress she had worn for the Bombay Times Bash

Q - How about her hair style?

Shaina - Trying our best in that department too. If you see Jhalak, you will notice we are trying long, short ..anything that we can manage within the brief given to us by the channel

Q - How about colours? Viewers feel Madhuri wears a lot of Pinks..

Shaina - Orange, Yellow and Red and Pink are her favorite colours. I try to put an ensemble there. Like a blue or purple.. But at the end of the day she chooses her favorites.

Q - As a stylist, do you think Madhuri is very difficult or challenging to deal with?

Shaina - Madhuri Dixit is very receptive. Extremely encouraging. She gives me the freedom. She is not difficult as she is close to perfect.
