“My favourite person to work with in the film industry is Bebo! I started my career with her, so she’ll always be special to me. We always have the best times together! It’s been a long journey with her… She’s very honest with me and that’s what has always worked for us.”

Having been in the industry for the last 16 years, Tanya Ghavri is a sought-after stylist who has gained prominence for her keen sense of style and her ability to curate unique and trendsetting looks for her clients.
