While watching Bollywood songs on YouTube at his Singapore home, it dawned on Steven Jhangiani that maang tikkas are rarely seen outside of weddings, films and traditional events. Jhangiani, who is the co-founder of contemporary Indian menswear label, KURTEES,  started thinking about what a maang tikka would look like with a “skull dangling from it”. A few months later, when he was in Mumbai, he bounced the idea off Hansika Jethnani, COO and co-founder at KURTEES.
