The artist is particularly known for incorporating popular culture into her work. The artist has adopted various popular personas and ironic roles as a vehicle for examining issues of gender, place and history. The comic aspect of her work carries a particularly sharp edge in her photo-based installations and projections, exposing cultural and gender stereotyping while exploring the complex terrain of contemporary urban life in India.
The emphasis on theatricality was shared by the artist who reinvented herself as the vampish heroine of her own cinematic 'photoromance', which she set in Mumbai and captured in a series of black-and-white photographs for the 'Century City' show.
