Don't Enter Bollywood, Says Bollywood Photographer Camaal Mustafa Sikander


Here is a message to all Bollywood aspirants from Bollywood Photographer : Camaal Mustafa Sikander



OK, tell me frankly, how many Bollywood Stars can you count on your fingers ? 10 ? 20 ? 30 ?

It will be easy to name the first ten Bollywood Stars, little difficult to name the next ten and only a very die-hard Bollywood fan would be able to name twenty and above. It won’t take a Scientific calculator for you to evaluate your chance among 1.27 billion people in India.

In spite of losing a prospective client, the very first question that I ask to anybody who approaches me to do their BOLLYWOOD PORTFOLIO is whether his or her family is dependent on their income. If the answer is yes, then I advise them not to enter Bollywood.

Apart from talent, passion & dedication, you will also need time & money to come & try your luck in Bollywood. If you don't have theater experience, then you will need about two years and approx. 2-3 lacs INR to learn all the skills that you will need in Bollywood and about 4-5 lacs to take care of your expenses for about 2 yrs.

After that will start the Audition rounds where you will compete with hundreds of other aspirants like you. If you don't have enough buffer stock of money to sustain yourself in Mumbai, you might get involved in a vicious circle here, to use a crude analogy, Na Ghar Ke Na Ghaat Ke.

So just don't get carried away by the glamour, but take a informed decision to enter Bollywood!

Do share it with your friends who may be contemplating a career in Bollywood.

Well-known ramp model Natasha Sikka shot with designer label brand Randell Gomes for an Indian wear collection. Randell Gomes has launched three different ranges – the first is a high-end couture bridal collection, the second is a pret line and the third is a casual wear party line.

They are priced between Rs 2 lakh to Rs 5 lakh and they are personally signed by Randell Gomes. The pret line and the casual wear party line are for the masses and are available all over India. The collection includes various fabrics like Cottons, Silks, Chiffon, Georgette, etc. There is also a signature line within the pret collection that is fabricated with hand loom hand-made Khadi and is a priced accordingly."

The theme and concept of designer Randell Gomes Indo-Western Summer Collection 2014 is “Affordable, Wearable & Comfortable Fashion for Women of all Sizes and Shapes”. Says Randell Gomes, “For most people fashion is either very expensive or inconvenient or uncomfortable. And that is what is unfortunately portrayed at the fashion weeks and at fashion shows. For me, fashion is affordable, wearable and comfortable and yet fashionable,”  Gomes told Newz66.com. Designer Randell Gomes in association with an event company has announced a beauty pageant Mr & Miss Fashionable India to promote the concept of comfortable, affordable and wearable fashion, which will be announced at a later date. Last year Randell Gomes had launched a pret collection called Mumbai Fashion Street Collection which is inspired by Mumbai’s fashion street at Dhobitalao in South Mumbai. This year too he has introduced a new line of wearable and affordable clothes for women of all shapes and sizes under the same name.

Randell Gomes who was born in Goa but grew up at Dhobi Talao near the CST Railway Station and was fascinated by the variety and color of clothes available very cheaply on Fashion Street. Says Randell Gomes, “My sisters would go to Fashion Street every weekend. When I was a student at St Xaviers college, we would visit Fashion Street to buy bermudas, shorts and T -shirts which were available for as little as Rs 30 per piece. It was simply fabulous. Most of the stuff available at Fashion Street were export rejects and some of them were re-cycled clothes. But the joy we experienced getting an outfit within our limited budget was tremendous. At that time, shopping was fun and a great pleasure. With my new range of pret outfits for men and women, I want to make cheap fashionable clothes available for everyone.

Mumbai-based model and actress Natasha Sikka needs no introduction. A veteran ramp model who has been modeling for the last ten years and has acted in several lesser-known films and done hundreds of catalog shoots. She was in the news recently for a hot lesbian photo shoot with model and actress Yasmin Khan supporting gay rights.

Natasha Sikka was also in the news a year earlier for filing a complaint with the cyber crime cell of the Mumbai police against a former friend who had hacked her email account and sent vulgar messages to her friends and contacts.
