Bharat and Dorris: Bollywood hair stylists and makeup artist duo doll up Sridevi

"...Their most cherished memory is a shoot with Sridevi for a magazine in the ’90s. “She was my dream girl,” says Dorris. “I remember Rakesh Shreshtha calling me one afternoon asking if we could reach in two hours for the shoot.” They took four hours to get to the location. “We were scared,” says Bharat. “We thought aaj toh gaali milegi.” 

But Sridevi, who was known for her star tantrums, remained nonchalant. “She was a thorough professional. She sat like a statue while we did her hair and make-up,” says Dorris. 

“Once Bharat was done, I asked her what kind of hairstyle she wanted. She said I had full liberty. My hands were trembling. Sridevi held my hand and said, ‘Dorris you’re the best, just do what you feel like’. I still get goose bumps when I think of it...”
