Deepika Padukone wants her man to dress like Shah Rukh Khan
Deccan Chronicle | October 21, 2015, 11.23 am ISTMumbai: Even as Sonam Kapoor believes that Deepika Padukone does not have a style of her own, her contemporary is all praise for the Khoobsurat' star's sartorial choices.
Deepika and Sonam made their Bollywood debut on the same day with Om Shanti Om' and Saawariya' respectively in 2007 and since then have been pitted against each other from their box-office merits to fashion sense.
When asked which of the actresses from the newer lot' impresses her, Deepika said, "Sonam dresses up really well...Kalki has a very distinct sense of style."
The 29-year-old Piku' star was speaking at the launch of her new clothing brand All About You' in partnership with online clothing store Myntra. Deepika said while growing up, she admired the way Hema Malini and Sridevi used to conduct and carried' themselves. Deepika is also a fan of superstar Shah Rukh Khan and her ex-boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor's sense of style.
"I think Shah Rukh dresses really well. Personally, he has a style which I would want a man to have that is basic jeans and T-shirt and he also seems very comfortable in what he wears. Ranbir Kapoor is someone who has a very interesting personal style," she said.
While Deepika did not name her rumoured boyfriend Ranveer Singh among the male actors whose dressing sense she likes, she heaped praise on him when asked about her opinion on his fashion choices.
She went on to explain,"I think he is also someone, who has a very distinct style. He is someone in a sense who embodies what 'All About You' is. We as a brand believe it is really about you, what you believe in and clothes that you wear are extension of your personality."
"I believe his style expresses that. He is someone who is very expressive, very confident and has a lot of energy, enthusiasm and all of that comes through in the clothes that he wears," the actress said.
Deepika also feels that a stylist's role has become very important for actors, which was not the case when she began her career.
"A lot of girls dress up really well. I remember when I started a few years ago there was no concept of stylist. Now it is a prerequisite for every actor both men and women. Everyone has an interesting and distinctive style."
Later the same evening, Deepika was spotted at the airport rushing back home from the event. She is currently very busy trying to wrap up Bajirao Mastani' before she begins promoting Tamasha' next month.
