She is a self-styled painting artist since his school days. She was in class 4 when she first made paintings and since then it became her hobby.

Appreciation on social media

As a painter, Tabish also sees broken cups and poplar leaves as his canvas.
“I paint on canvas sheets, paper, but I also paint on waste materials such as poplar leaves, wood blocks, broken cups, plate egg peels, and stones.
As I believe nothing is useless, it is the way you see the object. When those useless things are painted, it is transformed into a beautiful art work.
