This model got into the profession by chance. He was introduced to a designer by some common friends, and the rest, as they say, is history. Modelling for four years
now, this charming man loves his job. He also happens to be a new media designer, graduated from NID.
On favorite clothes and designers:
I love Arjun Khanna and Rajesh Pratap Singh's clothes. My favorite outfit is
a pair of jeans and a tight V-neck T-shirt, something like what I'm wearing
right now. My favorite T-shirt is one with a Punjabi slogan plastered across
it and it cost me around 300-500 rupees. I'm not brand conscious at
all...well, ok, i have my moods. (laughs)
On four Fashion Weeks:
I love it. It means lots of work for models. I can't complain about
anything.
On the clothes he wears for designers:
I've been seeing some interesting clothes on the ramp this week. As a model,
I'm simply a vehicle to convey the designer's message to the audience and
the buyers. I can switch off when I'm working, so so I dont mind if the
clothes are ones I can't relate to. The designers would know what works with
my look and I don't question that. I've never been uncomfortable with what
I've been asked to wear. Though if that did happen, I would talk to the
designer about it- the relationship between designers and models is good; we
can talk to each other.
On men's fashion:
Men's fashion is still evolving and coming of age in India. People are
beginning to explore this genre. In fact, I always joke that in my lext life
I would like to be born a woman because you guys have so much more variety
and choices than we do. But these days things are changiing, lots of men are
option for designer-wear. Bollywood has a large role to play in this too-
they have made men's fashion fashionable. It's a very exciting time and I
would like to play my part in men's fashion.
On modelling:
Starting models are paid less; that's natural. But I've never compromised on
my values and principles to get work.
On Diwali plans:
My mom is an artist and her show is on the 31st of October- also the day of
her birthday. So that's far more exciting for me than Diwali. But usually
Diwali is spent at home. I get together with some close friends and family,
and we celebrate together.
