What If...

"I would have been a Fashion Designer had I not become an actor….

I am graduated from National Institute of Fashion Technology, and even when I took up the course I had acting in my mind.  But I had a plan to go to Delhi and do a course in National School of Drama after which I thought I would work for one year before getting into acting. But then I realized that it would take a long time and hence after graduation, I directly came to Mumbai and joined the Kher's Acting Academy.

When I chose acting after my graduation my parents did not have much of an issue because they knew that I would do crazy stuffs like this.

When I was doing Gunahon Ka Devta, there were not many inputs that I could give because the costume was already decided. But later on I used to give suggestions on colours that we could try. In Chandragupta Maurya, we are in talks about the costume, about the Designer fabrications and armours etc.  

Personally I would like to dress up simple. During normal days, you can find me in a casual T-Shirt and trousers and flip-flops and during party occasions, I would like to dress up in simple shirt and denim.

If I were to design for a Bollywood celebrity I would like to design for Arjun Rampal as he has a nice physique. I would also love to design for Kangna Ranaut because I love the way she mixes up European and Indian wears.

As far as designers are concerned, I like Raghavendra Rathore, the Jodhpur Designer, Dsquared and Marc Jacobs."
