Style according to you is…

Style is very personal — it comes from within, not from the brands that you wear.

Five items in your closet you can’t do without

A pair of weathered jeans, a selection of custom-made shirts, some old (and torn) T-shirts, my Kolhapuri chappals and a favourite pair of blue sunglasses.

What kind of a shopper are you?

I’m a very impulsive shopper which more often than not costs me a lot!

Latest buys

I just bought myself a smartphone — the Google Nexus One.

The trend you are sporting at the moment

Of late I have been putting surma (kajal) in my eyes.

On a date you’ll be seen wearing…

My Iron Man suit! That’s how make-believe my dates are.

Which character out of history would you like to dress as?

Akhenaten, a Pharaoh of Egypt’s 18th dynasty, and Nefertiti’s husband.

You have a nose for?

I like to smell fragrances on others. As for me, I like to smell of me…and I smell good! I do use Burberry once in a while.

A fashion tip

Wear what makes you feel happy. And don’t let some bored ‘fashion guru’ tell you what looks good on you.
