Q. How do you incorporate emerging fashion trends while ensuring each look feels authentic to the client?
A. Every person has a certain style and aesthetic. So, what I try to do is always imbibe that when I am styling my clients. Of course, there are certain favourite trends with every new season which I like, and if I feel that my client is someone who likes to experiment with different silhouettes, I always recommend trying them. Having said that, I never push anything on anyone as I want my clients to be comfortable. So, if their style is let’s say classic, then I will stick with that. If someone wants to try new things, then I always recommend trying out new silhouettes, styles, and trends when I am styling them.
Q. One styling experience you will never forget?
A. One experience I’ll never forget is styling Freida Pinto for a couple of years when she was in LA and I was in India, I had to keep Styling her. Even with the geographical differences, it was a good experience. I think she is just so graceful and elegant and she is always so much in style. It made the process very easy and so I feel that’s a styling experience that I’ll always cherish.
Q. Your recent traditional styling showcases a culmination of modern plus classic traditional styles. How true is this observation?
A. I love styling beautiful Indian traditions just as I did when I styled Shanaya Kapoor in the Tarun Tahiliani outfit. I did something similar with Kiara Advani in a Torani outfit at the Ambani wedding. But what we do is, add a touch of glamour and a slight modern take while we style. We styled a Saree gown with Faraz for the same wedding. I really like the mix of super-traditional in certain looks. When I’m going traditional, and I feel like I want to add a modern touch, I will take a traditional silhouette and custom-make it for the actor on the occasion. I like the mix of both and keep a balance.

Q. One celebrity you wish to style and how?
A. One celebrity that I wish to style would definitely be Alia Bhatt. More than anything else, I have been a fan of hers for years now and I always tell her that I am your fangirl. So I think we’ll keep it a surprise on how I will be styling her, as I have lots of interesting ideas and don’t want to reveal them.
