Today we will introduce you to Charu Khurana. You must have rarely heard this name. But, it is he who changed the rule of the film industry of the country. Before 2014, there were no female make-up artists in any film industry of the country.
This is shocking, but true. There was no female makeup artist registered with the Makeup Artists Association. Men used to do the makeup of both hero and heroine, whether the makeup was only for the face or full body. Charu had to fight a four-year-long battle to make it to this men's association.
When Charu tried to enter Bollywood as a make-up artist for the first time, the association considered her a fanatic and harassed her in various ways. Not allowed to get work, Rs 1500 per day for a year. Also fined, also made pressure to get work from male make-up artists. But Charu did not give up, he dragged the association to the Supreme Court, fought for four years and won. He got permission to work in Bollywood. But, this fight was not really just four years old. From makeup kits worth lakhs to taking courses, Charu learned this art by putting everything at stake.
