We told you everything about Sonam’s beautiful and simple mehendi ceremony that took place yesterday – we discussed her outfit, her make-up, the guests and even the decor. But most of us don’t know much about the person who has made Sonam’s mehendi function what it was – her mehendi artist! Strange right? Well, let’s change the present scenario and tell you some interesting facts about Veena!
1. She has been in the mehendi industry for over 40 years now!
