All of my cameras were bought with borrowed money — Bollywood’s favorite photographer, Dabboo Ratnani
In this episode, Anupam Kher is joined by India’s trailblazing celebrity photographer, Dabboo Ratnani.

He also reveals how, in 1999, he came up with the idea for his now-iconic annual calendar — featuring stylized, high-concept shoots with top Bollywood celebrities — and how he’s kept it relevant for 25 years.
