What is your style mantra?

I always make sure that my outfit suits me. I will never wear an outfit that is unflattering, even if it is very expensive.

Who are your favourite style icons in Hollywood?

I really admire Tom Cruise and Daniel Craig. I like how they carry themselves and the outfits they wear.

What is your favourite fashion brand?

I don’t have a favourite fashion brand. I believe in building myself up to become a brand. But I try to buy t-shirts from H&M once in a while as they are comfortable and long lasting, and that makes it cost-effective, rather than having to buy cheap ones frequently. In the case of blazers, I usually go to Zara as their blazers are suited to the body structure of the people in our sub-continent. For sunglasses, I usually opt for Ray-Ban, and sometimes, Michael Kors.  

What is your regular everyday wear and party wear like?

My regular wear and party-wear do not really vary. The clothes that I wear to events are not very different from my casual outfits. However, if there is a dress code, I always try to follow it. I also like wearing blazers. So, I usually try to buy one that suits the type of the party I’m invited to. I also love wearing jackets and t-shirts.

What are your favourite accessories?

My favourite accessories are sunglasses and caps. Whenever I visit a new place, I always try to buy their signature caps or sunglasses, and you can always see me wearing them. I used to buy expensive ones before, but I have recently switched to using cheaper ones as they are prone to getting stolen during shoots.

What would be a fashion message that you would like to give to the readers?

I believe that when choosing an outfit, one must always remember the purpose of it. If one can do this, they can choose any outfit that makes them feel comfortable.
