Smol pleasures: Why miniature thalis, sofas and paintings are big business
Small is huge right now. Instagram Reels are zooming in on thalis no bigger than your little finger, laden with tiny rotis, veggie bowls, a cute papad and a mound of rice. Someone's handpainting model-train compartments the size of an eraser. Matchbox-sized wardrobes open up to contain five of Carrie Bradshaw's iconic looks, down to the Choos. Like. Like. Like. What began as a niche COVID-time hobby for craft-loving folks is now a thriving little business too. Miniature collectibles, especially food, are showing up as fridge magnets, wedding favours, pooja offerings and personalised presents for the besties. At 18th birthday parties, mini versions of the cake are turning into 'keep-cake' keychains. Artists work within a strict size range — five to seven centimetres — small enough to feel delicate, not so tiny that the details are lost. It's driven by precision and intention, everything must look cute. You don't need a psychology class to remind you that miniaturised bits of real life — model trains, Lego sets, architectural models, Barbie's Dreamhouse, even bobbleheads — tap into our sense of control. Items and ideas that are too much to take in at full scale are easier to process when they're shrunk down. Plus, in an age when we're filming everything, mini versions of the familiar are that much easier to like. It's why Chennai-based Sudha and Neha Chandranarayan's videos (@CNArts_Miniatures) of their handmade clay micro Maggi noodles has quietly amassed 39.6 million views. And the money coming in? Not so little. Minis to the max Sudha Chandranarayan, 55, spent more than three decades in traditional crafts. She's picked up mural work, doll-making and other painting styles while moving through Mumbai, Indore and Porbandar. 'Everywhere we lived, my mom absorbed the local art forms like a sponge,' says her daughter Neha, 25, who works alongside her. About 20 years ago, Chandranarayan discovered clay miniatures. 'She began sculpting tiny plants, birds, animals, even people, all by hand.' They ran workshops, passing on their techniques in an era before fancy art-supply shops and 10-minute delivery apps. 'We use air-dry clay, and back in the day, we had a relative bring it back to us from Thailand,' Chandranarayan says. Now, materials are readily available and the daughter puts up videos featuring prep, process, BTS and final product on social media. 'It's how we market, connect and get inspired by other artists.' Their keychains, magnets and earrings start at ₹499, on their website In Mumbai, Sailee Samel, 35, who runs The Yellow Brush (@TheYellowBrushh) works with polymer clay to create vada pao carts, vintage bakery nooks and chai tapris. It's 'like roti dough, just more refined,' she says. It comes in different colours, which reduces painting time, and gives miniatures a crack-free, stone-like texture when baked, 'but I have to import it in bulk from the US,' Samel says. It drives up costs. Polymer clay is four times the price of the air-dry version. Add the cost of workmanship, and a little banana-leaf platter can cost as much as ₹1,999. But customers love it. Her biggest order: A miniature collector who happily shelled out ₹1 lakh for 50 handcrafted pieces. Sourcing is just the first step. The real test lies in recreating a complex object, say, a South Indian thali, in miniature. Chandranarayan's version includes over 15 individual foods, all crafted by hand. 'Just the rice takes 8 to 10 hours, we stick together nearly 300 tiny grains,' she says. Observing the real thing is a big part of the prep. 'We study how gravies settle, how oil pools on curry.' After all, even if it's morsel-sized, the thali must look good enough to eat. Shrink wrap Everything, it seems, is making money when miniaturised. In 2020, Nagpur-based interior designer Ishani Umre, 29, owner of The Miniature Co. (@The_Miniature_Co), fell down a Pinterest rabbit hole and emerged obsessed with tiny furniture. Her first piece, a replica of her house, wasn't perfect, but she was hooked. She began taking on custom mini-teriors — a child's exact bedroom by a mom, someone's wedding venue, a home preserved in old photos. It's carpentered like the real thing. Sofas are upholstered with real fabric, cushions stuffed with cotton or rice, the plumbing in the little kitchens works, cabinets have working drawers. She uses foam board, balsa, polish, paints, even 3D-printed parts. 'I can't reuse anything. Your bed has to be your bed,' she says. A single piece can take 15 to 20 days, but clients, largely those looking to preserve a memory, don't mind the wait. They don't mind paying between ₹8,000 and ₹40,000 either. Umre says she's not selling objects but 'emotional storytelling in 1:16 scale'. Noida resident Meghna Roy, 36, switched from law to crafts (@Ashnalia_By_Meghna) but faced challenges selling her handmade greeting cards and bookmarks until she added tiny hand-painted artworks — Van Gogh's Starry Night, Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring, down to the gilded vintage frames — to her repertoire in March. One customer bought 20 mini paintings in a single order. 'You'd think tiny means quick,' she says, 'but each painting takes four to five hours. The detail demands patience.' Nostalgia and storytelling, drive much of the sales. One of CN Arts Miniatures' customers gifted a platter of pao bhaji, curd rice and idlis to her husband stationed abroad: 'It was like sending him a piece of home'. Their bestseller is their crispy dosa — they've sold 3,000 of them worldwide. Despite demand, they cap production at 150 pieces a month to stick to handmade, precise in-house work. Umre's viral Reels push website sales. Her mini cabinets and lamps sell the best. It's like holding a memory in your hand. AI can't compete yet. From HT Brunch, June 14, 2025 Follow us on .

Who is Sunjay Kapur's first wife Nandita Mahtani? Dated Ranbir Kapoor, almost married Vidyut Jammwal, is Virat's stylist
The death of industrialist Sunjay Kapur at 53 sent shockwaves not just in the corporate world, but stunnned showbiz as well. Sunjay was married thrice - all to women from showbiz. While his marriages to actor Karisma Kapoor and model Priya Chatwal are well known, Sunjay was first married to fashion designer and socialite Nandita Mahtani in the 90s. Nandita Mahtani, a Delhi-based socialite, and Sunjay, married in 1996. Nandita hails from a business family. Her brother Bharat is a businessman, whose wedding in 2010 was attended by everyone from Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai to Karan Johar and Harsh Goenka. Her sister Anu is married to billionaire Sanjay Hinduja. Nandita and Sunjay Kapoor were married for just four years in the 90s. They split in 2000, when their divorce was finalised. Nandita, a known fashion designer, was known in Mumbai circles as a socialite. As per reports, she dated Dino Morea in the 2000s, and runs a fashion brand called Playground with him. She briefly went out with Ranbir Kapoor, Karisma's cousin, as well. In a 2017 interview with The Quint, Ranbir said, 'All I can say is that while growing up, I was infatuated with her. I found her beautiful, simple and warm, so unlike the socialite she is made out to be. We went out for dinners, it was nothing serious. Mum knew I had a crush on her.' In 2017, Nandita got engaged to actor Vidyut Jammwal. The two made their relationship public on Instagram, with glimpses of a dreamy proposal at the Taj Mahal. However, the two later split. A post shared by Nandita Mahtani (@nanditamahtani) Since 2012, Nandita has been stylist for many Bollywood celebs, and more notably for cricketer Virat Kohli. In a 2019 interview with ET Panache, Nandita had said, 'Virat has an impeccable style, which stems from his inherent strong personality. He prefers a sporty casual look, but he does enjoy an occasional dress up. His style is mostly refined and minimalistic.' 53-year-old Sunjay Kapur died in London on Thursday, hours after he swallowed a bee during a polo match, business consultant Suhel Seth told ANI. Sunjay was married to Karisma from 2003 to 2016. The couple has a daughter, Samaira, born on 11 March 2005 and a son, Kiaan, born on 12 March 2011. In 2014, they filed for divorce, which was finalised in 2016. Sunjay married Priya Sachdev the following year. Priya and Sunjay are parents to a son, Azarias.

Killin' It Girl music video: BTS' J-Hope showcases sizzling chemistry with female lead in GloRilla collab track
J-Hope dropped his third digital single Killin' It Girl on June 13 at 1 PM KST (9:30 AM IST/12 AM ET). Featuring verses by American rapper GloRilla, the collaborative track boasts a seamless fusion of the styles of both artists. The MV showcases J-Hope's sizzling chemistry with the female lead, reflecting the artist's newfound sex appeal, as hinted by BTS' previous comments about exploring a 'second phase' post military discharge.

The music video showcases a more confident and daring J-Hope, who exudes an undeniable spark alongside choreographer Alyssa Santos. Their insane visuals and subtle touches sent the internet into a frenzy. Watch the Killin' It Girl MV here: The BTS member heats things up with his six-pack abs and suggestive lyrics of getting intimate on his beloved's birthday. The lines "10 out of 10" and "Baddest out your friends" are used to indicate the women he is physically attracted to. Describing her mesmerizing beauty, J-Hope sings, "It should be a crime just to look that fine." Besides flaunting his chiselled physique, the singer also showcased what he's known best for— his amazing dancing skills. J-Hope drops Killin' It Girl MV on BTS' 12th anniversary What makes the song even more special is that its release coincided with BTS' 12th debut anniversary. As South Korea buzzed with FESTA celebrations, J-Hope drops a banger and will head to his HOPE ON THE STAGE FINAL encore stage next. It will be held on the same day, June 13, and also the following day, at Goyang Stadium at 7 PM KST (3:30 AM IST/6 AM ET). As 6/7 BTS members have been released from the military by June 11, their fandom, ARMY, is expecting a group reunion (without the yet-to-be-discharged SUGA) at J-Hope's Seoul concerts.
