If you think Bollywood stars wake up like they're ready to grace the red carpet, then you have got it all wrong. B-town stars have their own army of 'glam-up' squad who ensure that the star looks like one each time he/she steps out. Being a Bollywood star means not even being able to step into your balcony without getting spotted by the paparazzi. It has become a necessity to have a stylist you can blindly trust, the one who can take you through all fancy public appearances and make the cameras go 'WOW'.
Let's shift the spotlight onto the celebrity stylists who work behind the scenes and make B-town stars look like pure magic.
