20 questions with Tarun Raghavan
My birthday: 20th June 1975 (Gemini).
My height: Almost a six footer (5"11)
My favourite campaign: The Red And White series. It is expected to release in the next few months. Actors like Jackie Shroff and Akshay Kumar have endorsed it in the past. I particularly like the advertisement, as I had to jump off a hot air balloon. It has fun.
My favourite music video: Sonu Nigam's Deewana. Again my favourite as I had to jump out of a helicopter. I enjoy work that has a lot of adventure. It is important for me to enjoy my work.
My favourite cuisine: South Indian food, anyday. idlis, sambhar and curd rice are my eternal favourites. (And I am a vegetarian).
My favourite designer: Sangeeta Chopra.
My dream vehicle: Harley Davidson.
My favourite outfits: T-shirts, loose trousers, kurtas, lungis and tracks. In fact, anything that is loose and comfortable.
My favourite perfume: For women it is Clinique's Happy. It is a soft and happy perfume. Personally, I have no favourites.
My favourite accessory: I cannot live without my watch.
My favourite model: Arjun Ramphal.
My sex appeal: Probably lies in being normal.
On a deserted island, I would like: An army of servants.
What attracts me in a woman: smile and beautiful eyes
I relax with: I am always in a relaxed state of mind. So I do not have to do anything specific. Otherwise, a walk relaxes me. Nothing like soaking in the sights, smells and colours of the city.
I fear: Boredom. The worst is waiting between the shots doing nothing. When anything fails to stimulate me, I get frightened.
I shop from: Most of my clothes are custom-made. On my trips abroad, I pick up good T-shirts and other stuff. I am not too designer-crazy, prefer comfort to style.
I never leave home without : Money. My wallet.
If not a model, I would have been: An MBA or CA in the corporate world, if not for a model. Modelling just happened to me. Friends made me enter the Graviera Model Contest. I wasn't even serious. It was only when I was noticed that I gave the world of fashion a serious thought. Then followed Zen, Brylcream, Cinthol, Haywards 5000 and a couple of music videos. And there was no looking back.
My future: I believe in short-term plans. At the moment, it is to lose weight and get back in action.
