In this episode, Pooja talks with Jayesh Sheth, who has spent over four decades chronicling the industry and its stars by bringing his sense of spontaneity and soul into his photographs.
From being a wedding photographer to being chosen to shoot Richard Gere, Jayesh takes Pooja through his journey marked by vivid encounters with India’s biggest stars. He recalls Rishi Kapoor’s first lesson to him in showbiz, why Zeenat Aman was as fierce as a ‘tigress’ in their first photoshoot after her eye injury, how a laughter-filled accident got him an iconic shoot of Rekha, and the time he coaxed Jagjit Singh into donning a pair of jeans for a photo shoot. 
From napping while Shahrukh Khan waited in his studio, to why he thinks actor Raj Kumar was the toughest actor to shoot with, Jayesh shares what it was like to capture an industry over decades, where every star had their own aura.
Together, Pooja and Jayesh look back on a time before filters and followers and why Jayesh wants young artists to “chase the light and not the likes.”
