Neel Ranaut, a village influencer recreating bollywood outfits from scratch

Sarbajit Sarkar aka Neel Ranaut, hailing from Tripura is an Instagram star who walks for designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla. He also makes ‘Who wore it better’ videos where he features DIY hacks to celebrity couture.

His outfits are made from scratch, using banana leaves and real flowers.

It was Kusha Kapila who spotted Neel and provided the Insta-exposure. In an interview, he revealed, “She didn’t have to. But she helped me out. She constantly helps me by motivating me. That is why I call her Kusha-di. After Kusha showed my IG page to Sandeep Khosla, I was surprised to see a message from him. I fumbled, I was nervous but with whatever English I know, I managed to speak to him. Sandeep sir asked me if I needed any help and all I could manage was, ‘Bless me so that I meet you both (Sandeep-Abu) someday.”

Neel takes inspiration from celebrities and even posts BTS videos of himself making his outfit straight from nature.

The clothes he makes are from natural elements.
