Gaurav aka Rahul’s interview 4m IT

Mention hazel green intense eyes in tellydom and what comes to one's mind is Gourav Chanana. Blessed with stunning looks and talent, this actor has come a long way from his Sanjeevani days.

Gourav who has recently moved out of Rishton Ki Dorr on Sony is busy re-inventing himself in real life.This hip and happening actor tells Tellychakkar.com's Sameera Kapoor that he loves Rohit Bal's designer wear, freaks on Gucci glares, and loves to paint landscapes and portraits when not shooting.

Being in vogue......
Fashion is an extension of your personality. It should accentuate one's individuality. It's more to do with what looks good on you. If you are vivacious then your dressing sense too will fall in that line. Besides if you are innovative then you can mix and match your attire which gives you a new look every time.

My inspiration....
I have a very vibrant personality. But the situations around me prompt me to dress up. So, if I am surrounded by jovial people then you'll find me in bright clothes!

Brand dropping........
I am brand conscious to a certain extent. Sometimes, I do buy stuff that need not be branded but once worn by me it looks branded!

Let's go shopping .....
I am an impulsive shopper. If I spot something nice, I pick it up. But I am very careful that whatever I buy is worth every penny.

Designer digs.......
Rohit Bal and Rajesh Pratap Singh. Their creations are one of its kind. Their designs and fabrics are absolutely marvelous.

Denim dose......
I am not that fond of denim. In fact, I avoid wearing them, especially in Mumbai, as the climate is really hot. So, you can say that I don't live up to the term, 'I live in denim'. However, that doesn't mean that you won't find me wearing one. It's just a matter of choice.

On a normal day......
You will find Gourav wearing something in linen or boxers teamed with a nice pair of chappals. I do not prefer shoes. Besides these, I love wearing vests.

Wardrobe essentials...
Linenwear, boxers, jackets, chappals, kolhapuris, sandals, cool shades, ganjees, polos and designer suits by Rohit Bal and Rakesh Gupta.

Secret behind my stubble......
I hate shaving. It's a very tedious job. Besides, I do not like my clean shaven look. I guess it's the unkempt look that suits me. So, I use a trimmer to make sure that I sport the right look.

My fetish....
It has to be bracelets and shades. I stock around 50 to 60 types of bracelets and around 20 glares from the house of Versace, Gucci

Me and organised?
It's a good thing as it would reduce many hassles. At the end of every month, I go around arranging my wardrobe. But then it still goes haywire after a week. It becomes a replica of a battleground! So I have to resort to a lot of digging to find something.

My Hi-Five

Time needed to garb up - generally five minutes

Cheapest buy - a copper ring (10 bucks)

Costliest buy - a Hugo Boss suit (85000/-)

Most stylish person on TV - Ekta Kapoor (can't miss that trademark tikka)

What thing people don't now about me - I paint (landscapes and portrait are my forte)
