"I met Appurva at the very beginning of my career. He was the official photographer for the contest I was participating in — and from that moment, a lifelong friendship began, built on deep mutual respect for each other’s craft. When you’re new, it isn’t easy to get portfolios updated or experiment with fresh images every time you need them. Appurva was always there. He shot me every single time. We grew together. We experimented fearlessly. He constantly brought a new perspective to the way the lens saw me — often helping me see myself differently as an artist. He had studied in America, and I in London. It was wonderful to amalgamate our training and sensibilities — blending varied educational backgrounds into something uniquely our own. That exchange of ideas elevated not just the photographs, but the process itself. He also went out of his way to help me access new projects. Professionally, he was always my first choice as a photographer. Personally, he became family. Rightly said — Appurva is one of the strongest pillars of my career’s foundation. I will always be grateful."
