<span class=normal>The very name of the make up artist Mahendra Gupta may or may not ring a bell. But, the results of his visual magic are always an ocular delight, whose testimonials stand in the form of Preity Zinta, Juhi Chawla, Lara Dutta, Raveena Tandon, Sushmita Sen, Neha Dhupia, Manisha Koirala…to name a few! It was this man who was majorly instrumental in transforming Nakuul Mehta into the hour-glass brittle beauty Miss Nikki! <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Speaking about this transformation, Mahendra says, I have worked with many a top actresses and actors. But, this was the first time that I attempted something of this sort. It was as challenging as it can be. Nakuul has a very malleable face. In the sense, he has the proper face cut to be a hero. At the same time, his face can also be transformed into a heroines with equal ease...the way we did. The basic (and the only problem) that we faced with Nakuul was that of his stubble, which would re-grow fast. But we got the desired results with ample applications of foundation and concealers! Nakuuls dedication and sincerity towards his works should definitely take him places. He has all the makings of a superstar. My best wishes are with him. </span>
