EDITORIAL NARRATIVE

Haldi is the one function where nobody is posing, which makes it our favourite to shoot. This one started as a polite turmeric application on a terrace in Jubilee Hills and ended with every cousin soaked and three of us changing lenses under an umbrella. We shoot haldi with weather-sealed bodies and zero hesitation — the best frames are always the ones taken after the photographer gives up on staying clean.

We have never laughed that hard. Somehow they caught every single second of it.
