Perfect for camera

So what makes Madhuri so special to a photographer’s eye? “Madhuri has a supremely beautiful face, perfectly placed eyes, a wonderful mouth and a small nose. Her body is proportionate, although not waif-like. She is a director’s actor. I have put her in ice, made her sit on watermelons, made her go around in circles over a hundred items and without wincing, she has done it all. She has that quality about her.”

And who is his favourite male muse? “Without a doubt, Salman Khan. He has brought in a new style and is so poised. Plus he possesses a fine dress sense. He always does something better than what I have conceived. I don’t see that in too many people.”
