Early life and background

After her father’s death when she was eighteen, she left college in Mumbai and moved to the United States with an aunt. In Chicago she enrolled at Barat College and completed a double major in Marketing and Communication with a minor in Public Speaking.

Career

Bhavnani initially worked a variety of odd jobs while in the U.S., including waitressing. She experimented with fashion design before focusing on hairdressing, which became her primary profession. By the age of 30 she was living in Los Angeles; in 2002 she returned to India and decided to settle in Mumbai.

On returning to Mumbai she worked in a salon called Juice while building a profile as a columnist, writing regular pieces for publications such as Mumbai Mirror and Mid Day. In 2004 she launched her own salon, Mad-O-Wot, opening it with a small team. The business expanded over the next decade: she opened a second salon in Andheri in 2011 and relocated the original Bandra salon to a larger space, which was inaugurated by actress Katrina Kaif.

Beyond salons, Bhavnani broadened her creative and commercial activities. She founded Mad-O-Wot Productions and collaborated on a fashion label called SoFake with designer Sukriti Grover.
