My fashion statement: A black suit is a classic that always makes an impact. But I am a colourful person so I also tend to wear colourful clothes. I like the colours white and purple, the latter because my son too loves it. But my favourite outfit for a casual occasion would be a pair of jeans and a black shirt.

My opinion on film clothes: I am largely asked to play rich men on screen; so I get to wear good clothes.

My film costumes are coordinated by: My wife Tanya. She and I buy clothes during our shopping sprees overseas and coordinate them in accordance with the look that we have planned for that particular film. At times I get my outfits stitched from Gabbana. When Tanya was expecting our second baby, my clothes were done by Manish Malhotra for Barsaat.

My favourite designer: No one in particular. I hardly shop in Mumbai. And abroad it is all about discovering while shopping. Umesh Jivnani and Manish Malhotra are good at their job.

My favourite perfume: Creed, Christian Dior, Country, B Men.

My colour: Black.

My fabric: Cotton.

My jeans: Andrew Mackenzie.

My shoes: The shoes I pick depend on the comfort level rather than the brand.

My suits: Armani.

My watch: Is a gift from my wife. The brand is U-Goat.

For my wedding reception, I wore: A black suit from Prada while my wife’s lehenga was an Abu-Sandeep creation.

My favourite fashion accessory: I love sunglasses and end up purchasing more than I need. Maybe, when I grow old, I will organise a display of my collection of glares!

The most expensive accessory I own: I have a watch similar to the one worn by Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2 … or was it 3?

An outfit I will never wear: A lehenga and dhoti-kurta.

An outfit that I regret wearing: The girl’s nightie I wore for a scene in Aur Pyar Ho Gaya.

The best dressed men in the industry are: My father (Dharmendra) and my brother (Sunny).

The best dressed woman in the industry are: Er… nowadays where do they wear clothes?

I sleep in: A night suit.

My tip for those who want to be well-dressed: Wear what you are comfortable in, or you will stand out like a sore thumb.

Experimenting with hair is: Something I have always done. I had started straightening my hair just before shooting for Soldier, long before rebonding became fashionable. I grew it long, cut it short, then I coloured my hair, straightened it and grew it all over again.

I wash my hair: Everyday because in our profession we are always sweating under the glare of harsh lights. I don’t have any particular brand of shampoo — it could be L’Oreal, Wella or a name which I cannot pronounce!

My natural hair colour is: Brown.

My hairstylist is: Aban at B-Blunt.

My tip for good hair: Don’t mess around with it too much or you will lose it!

According to my wife, my sex appeal lies in: My personality.
