21 cosplayers reveal their day jobs

Paloma Sharma asked some of the cosplayers of Mumbai Comic Con to tell us what they did when they weren't dressed up in costumes.

We recently brought you these images of cosplayers -- participants who dress up as their favourite fictional character -- from Mumbai Comic Con.
