Meet Karishma Mehta, the face behind Humans of Bombay
- 8 years ago
We spent a day with Karishma Mehta, the face behind the Facebook page Humans of Bombay. Mehta has been walking the streets of Mumbai documenting stories of random strangers since January, 2014. Her Facebook page now boasts of 5.8 lakh followers, and features nearly 1,000 stories that provide a glimpse into the struggles of common people. Mehtaís subjects have battled abusive marriages, drug habits, social exclusion. Through her efforts, she has given them a voice.
Now, she has collated the stories in a book 'Humans of Bombay: The Book.' Eponymous with the Facebook page, it even features 70 to 80 additional stories that are not yet online.
