“A great loss, so unexpected, cannot believe it …..such an incredible talent, The first makeup artist I ever worked with, taught me so many things, by my side for so many shoots, days, weeks, months. It doesn’t seem real, such a gentle kind quiet soul, u never heard him speak about anyone in any way, he could transform your face and bring out beauty u could not see. Gone way too soon, cannot believe we will never have our discussions again. Rest in peace Subhu you will be missed,” she wrote.
