What’s your chill-out outfit?
Shorts and tee or distressed jeans and a camisole.
Do you like bold colours or subtle shades?
I love subtle shades more, but for special occasions, I prefer bold colours like red, gold and black.
How would you describe your personal style?
My personal style is cool, edgy at times, fearless, and at the forefront of the latest fashion. And, most importantly, comfort matters a lot to me. I have a boho side to my personality too which I try to reflect through my style especially when I am on a beach vacation.
When it comes to jewellery, would you choose heavy or light pieces?
I am not much of a jewellery person and I believe in the dictum ‘less is more.’ I just wear my wedding ring and maybe huge loop earrings at times when I am in the mood for accessories.
In your wardrobe, what occupies more space: traditional outfits or western outfits?
Western outfits, though I love traditional outfits too. I am usually lazy about working to get that proper traditional look.
Is there a celebrity whose style you really love?
My style icon— Gigi Hadid. The one thing I love the most about her is the way she experiments with her looks on and off the ramp, and I also love her super cool and chic personal style.
If you had to list five style icons,male andfemale, they would be…
Among females it would be -Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, Kareena Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Selena Gomez.
My list of male style icons would include Shah Rukh Khan, David Beckham, Ryan Gosling, Zayn Malik, and Brad Pitt.
How long does it take you to get dressed?
I am usually quick, 15minutes if I am just going out with friends and all. If it’s an event, party or meeting, then 45minutes max.
What’s the best part of being you?
I am a secure person, I never get insecure or intimidated by others and I carry myself with ease without trying too hard. I am a risk taker and I am notscared of experimentingwith anything new.
What is fashion, according to you?
Fashion is something that should reflect our real personality. Fashion is not just following trends, it’s about comfort, and the ease and confidence with which you carry yourself irrespective of what you are wearing.
