I first met with Bappi Da on an assignment for Rolling Stone magazine. They wanted images for their story on him. He was kind enough to allow me inside his beautiful Juhu bungalow which also had a recording space. I thought it would be wonderful to photograph him in his personal workspace as most images of him were either on stage, at events or in a recording studio. When I arrived at his bungalow with my crew, I was welcomed personally by the man himself. I was surprised as to how warm he was. He had a great sense of humour which I loved from the very start. He proudly showed me around his bungalow. He was more than involved in the shoot. He shared some of his fond memories when he had a chance to meet The Jackson 5 and the legend himself Michael Jackson. He mentioned to me how he had got Samantha Fox to India and he insisted that I shot him in front of a wall that had the images of Jackson and Fox.
