Statement By Jyoti Chheda
Jyoti Chheda was the artist who designed Alia Bhatt’s one-of-a-kind mehendi design which was simple, minimal yet unique. During an interview with Times Of India, Jyoti Chheda revealed Alia wanted a mehendi that had a Mandala art, her husband Ranbir Kapoor’s name and the infinity symbol. As per the actress’s demands, her mehendi was completed within half an hour only. However, Jyoti Chheda expressed her disappointment about not getting her due credits in the film after Alia’s mehendi was featured in the song of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. While she appreciated the additional work in the mehendi, Jyoti Chedda was also of the opinion that the original artist’s work deserved more credit.
