Bollywood's best: A photographer's pick


Katrina is a wonderful human being. Always fresh, she is never tired or stressed out. She never loses her glow even during a midnight shoot at a temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit!
*


Jiah is very glamorous, versatile and intelligent for her age. You can mould her accordingly. Her face has a lot of character.
*

It is fun to shoot Govinda. He is totally funny and always cracking jokes. No one can match his great comic timing.
*

Hrithik is a thorough gentleman. He will not fake emotions. He will tell you whatever he feels. I am yet to come across a person like him. He doesn't throw any starry tantrums.
*

Celina is my protege. She has a flawless face. She has a lot of confidence in me and trusts me completely.
***

Amrita looks great in traditional as well as western outfits.

Amrita is my all-time darling. I met her when she was a veejay for MTV. When she came to interview me, I offered to do her portfolio. A few months later, she took up my offer. She is one petite and delicate girl whom you could mould any way you want. She manages to look glam as well as vulnerable at the same time.
***

Priety is fun to work with. She is total masti. When you look at her photograph, you will know what I am talking about. She is a livewire; her energy level is good. I have a great personal relationship with her.

Kareena was born to be a star. She looks great without make-up. I saw her in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Yuva, and loved her. I knew she was a fantastic actress and she proved it in Jab We Met.
