Beauty
is
in
the
eye
of
the
beholder.
So
with
agreement
to
this
adage,
beauty
holds
different
perspectives
for
every
other
eye.
What
may
be
pure,
flawless
beauty
to
one
may
be
superficial
and
bland
to
another.
So
what
happens
when
connoisseurs
of
beauty
have
varied
things
to
say
about
this
subjective
aspect?
It
fills
the
canvas
with
different
hues
of
views
about
beauty.
Top
photographer
Daboo
Ratnani
believes
in
the
final
product
and
not
how
the
person
looks
in
real
life.
It
is
very
necessary
that
the
person
looks
dazzling
in
the
picture
or
else
the
picture
can't
be
perfect.
He
says,
"As
a
photographer,
beauty
is
what
I
see
through
the
lens.
I
am
interested
more
in
the
end
product
-
the
picture
-
rather
than
what
the
person
is
really
all
about.
It's
okay
if
the
person
is
not
brilliant
looking
in
real
life,
as
long
as
she
is
stunning
when
she
is
in
front
of
the
camera."
On
the
contrary,
ace
photographer
Gautam
Rajadhyaksha
feels
that
an
imperfect
beauty
makes
brilliant
pictures.
He
feels
that
if
a
picture
goes
wrong
then
it
is
not
the
face's
fault,
it
is
the
photographer's
fault
though
he
feels
that
there
is
an
element
of
photogenic
factors
that
count.
Daboo
feels
that
a
great
bone
structure
and
cosmetics
can
enhance
beauty.
But
he
also
feels
that
confidence
in
oneself
is
a
prerequisite.
Gautam
agrees
that
today
beauty
has
become
very
cosmetic.
He
asserts,
"Unless
you
have
your
individuality
with
your
won
flaws
and
perfections
-
you
will
look
like
anyone
else
around."
Fashion
designer
Manish
Malhotra
has
an
altogether
different
take
on
beauty.
He
feels
that
stylizing
and
enhancing
will
make
a
person
look
complete.
"I
think
beauty
can't
be
one
thing
in
isolation.
You
can't
make
an
actress
wear
one
of
your
finest
creations
and
think
she'll
look
perfect.
It's
the
detailing
that
enhances
the
complete
look
-
with
accessories,
make-up
and
hair-do
that
complement
her
clothes
and
features.
Its
personality
and
entire
carriage
that
makes
a
woman
look
beautiful.
That's
what
beauty
means
to
me."
Manish
feels
that
unlike
yesteryears
fashion
and
stylizing
has
been
given
importance
now.
He
states,
"The
concept
of
fashion
and
beauty
has
gone
through
a
complete
metamorphosis
over
the
years.
When
I
joined
the
film
industry,
they
didn't
really
have
space
for
a
stylist,
or
the
capacity
to
understand
the
concept
of
styling.
It
was
a
struggle.
There
were
Yash
Chopra
films
that
were
beautifully
styled,
but
other
than
that
fashion
was
quite
loud
and
garish.
At
that
time
the
modeling
fraternity
and
fashion
designers
looked
down
upon
Bollywood
films.
Slowly
it
changed
and
every
designer
craved
to
be
associated
with
designing
clothes
for
movies.
When
I
hear
people
talking
so
much
about
make-over's,
it's
strange.
I
saw
it
and
was
a
part
it
ten
years
ago.
Urmila
and
Karisma's
makeover
happened
ten
years
ago."
The
talented
artists
have
their
own
choices
of
beautiful
people
based
on
diverse
criteria.
For
Daboo
photographing
Aishwarya
Rai
is
a
dream
come
true.
He
also
thinks
Priyanka
Chopra,
Bipasha
Basu,
Tabu
look
fantastic.
Rekha
is
the
one
he
would
love
to
work
with.
Gautam
says,
"Imperfect
beauty
is
a
face
like
Dimple
Kapadia's.
Her
nose
is
not
exactly
where
the
plum
line
falls.
Her
lips
are
not
completely
in
the
center.
Yet,
she's
one
of
the
most
stunning
visions
we've
had
in
films.
Even
Kajol,
who
unlike
her
aunt
(Nutan)
is
an
imperfect
beauty,
makes
brilliant
pictures
by
the
sheer
strength
of
the
sparkle
in
her
eyes
and
the
infectious
smile." For
him
Rekha
and
Madhuri
Dixit
and
it
is
a
challenge
to
capture
Sridevi.
He
has
seen
and
appreciated
the
ilk
of
Juhi
Chawla,
Aishwarya
Rai
and
even
Tina
Munim
since
their
struggling
days
and
so
is
like
a
father
-figure
to
them.
As
far
as
Manish
is
concerned,
he
absolutely
adores
Sridevi.
Zeenat
Aman,
Rekha,
Jaya
Bachchan,
Shabana
Azmi
and
Neetu
Singh
are
his
all-time
favourites.
But
he
cannot
stop
going
gung-ho
about
Madonna.
He
gushes,
"She
is
a
stunning
woman
who
looks
different
every
time
you
see
her.
Not
just
her
clothes,
she
works
on
her
entire
look.
That's
exactly
how
I
like
to
work
-
design
in
entirety,
making
the
woman
a
perfect
picture
you
can't
take
your
eyes
off."
So
gone
are
the
days
of
true
conventional
beauty.
Now
even
an
unimaginably
ugly
thing
can
be
beautified.
But
no
matter
what,
beauty
is
something
which
should
strike
THE
chord.
So
beauty
is
how
one
makes
it
look
beautiful.
After
all
even
the
ugly
duckling
was
beautiful
for
its
mother!
