Mehendi Art By Usha Shah and Ekta Kansara

Bridal mehendi is an integral part of an Indian bride's beauty on her wedding day. Experienced henna/mehendi artist along with her team of 50 artists, Usha Shah has had the opportunity to work with major corporate clients, Bollywood stars, prominent Indian families and leading models.

Usha Shah is the founder of Mehindiart (www.mehendiart.com) for whom mehendi was a creative outlet. She is a professional mehendi artist running her business for over 30 years now. In the beginning she designed only for close friends and family. With all the publicity and word of mouth came requests for teaching others her skills with Mehendi designing. She started doing mehendi for brides and Mehendi Classes and there has been no looking back from that point on.
Her first brush with worldly fame was in the year 1985, when one of her many designs featured in a cover story in the in-flight magazine of Air India, Namaskar . Namarata Dutt, wife of a prominent movie star Kumar Gaurav, impressed with the intricacy of Usha s design invited her to paint her hands with mehendi. Then as they say, the rest is history.
