All of my cameras were bought with borrowed money — Bollywood’s favorite photographer, Dabboo Ratnani

In this episode, Anupam Kher is joined by India’s trailblazing celebrity photographer, Dabboo Ratnani. A prominent figure in Indian fashion and film photography for over two decades, Ratnani shares stories from his work with Bollywood’s biggest stars and reflects on his early struggles in the industry. He also reveals how, in 1999, he came up with the idea for his now-iconic annual calendar — featuring stylized, high-concept shoots with top Bollywood celebrities — and how he’s kept it relevant for 25 years.
