RIP Pandhari Juker: Legendary MUA Passes Away

Legendary makeup artist Pandhari da aka Pandhari Juker passed away earlier today. He famously did the makeup for Sridevi in both Chandni and Lamhe - and for several magazine shoots.

Eg this bell-bottom look from an early 90s cover shoot. More in the archives here.


TBT to this quote he had about working with Sridevi, "Sridevi's make-up seemed to take a long time," he said about working the top star and leading lady of Chandni. "Sridevi was taking time to prepare, because Yash Chopra he really cared for how his heroine should look. And Sridevi did not rush us, she was patient till the look was perfected."
