Reminiscent of an age of renaissance, liberalism and decadence, Babu and Bibi channel the spirit of those classy, flamboyant, emancipated gentlemen and ladies of Bengal, who challenged orthodoxy of the time, and openly indulged in their love of aesthetics through arts, music and fashion.
The Babu and Bibi culture of colonial Bengal was immortalised by the Kalighat painting artists or the 'patuas', who often resorted to humor to depict the neo-modern lives of the nouveau rich.
The new age Babu and Bibi however, do not wish to be restricted to pictures. Born and bred in Kolkata and now living in London, they are as global as they are local and are fortunate to experience the best of both worlds. Bibi (Pritha) is a doctor specialising in obstetrics and gynaecology and a dancer and her other half Babu (Vikram) holds a senior management position.
This channel is an attempt to share their ideas on themes they love - fashion, travel, dance, health, home decor and lifestyle in general 😊
