Heart to heart with Aman

Leaving his baggage of controversy is far behind, actor Aman Verma is looking forward in life and concentrating on work these days. He will now be seen in Star Plus's new daily Viraasat — Nafrat Ke Khel Mein, Do Dilon Ki Chaahat. Shagufta Kalim checks on the actor's likes and dislikes...

Your style statement...
Comfort and self satisfaction. I don't endorse a fashion trend just because it looks good on someone else or is in vogue. I believe, if something suits me, I'll go for it.

Are you brand conscious...
Not at all. Right now, I am wearing a Gap shirt, Diesel jeans and a Fossil wrist watch. These are popular brands but that's not the reason for purchasing them. As I said before, it's not the label that catch my eye but the product. besides, it should compliment my style as well.

Your favourite perfume...
Tommy Hilfiger, and Calvin Klein.

Turning point in your career...
The moment I landed in Mumbai, it was the turning point in my career. Life no longer remained the same. On June 20, I will be completing a decade in Mumbai.

Are you a party animal?
I don't party a lot but some times I hang out with my friends near Gateway of India. But sleep is my biggest stress-buster.

First trip abroad...
I went for a shooting in England.

Most Memorable holiday...
Definitely Cape Town. The place is worth a visit again and again (laughs). I was there for the shoot of Andaaz. After completing the schedule, I made it a point to halt for a couple of days as an extended holiday. Besides I've enjoyed being in Mauritius and Macau near Hong Kong. But I would love to visit Australia and Russia someday.

First crush...
My father was in the army and we were stationed at Siliguri. I met a girl called Priya, when I was in the ninth standard. We were classmates. That was my first date as well.
