Ramp? I love to do shows. Ramp modelling has a great sense of camaraderie. All the models travel together and you become like one family. I walked down the ramp earlier this year for a khadi promotion show. I feel now, after 15 years in the business, there needs to be some reason for me to walk down the ramp.

Fashion week? I have never taken part in any Indian fashion week and do not feel I have missed anything. By the time fashion week began here, I had already moved into films.

The big screen? I will not sign a film unless I feel connected to it. I like working with new directors and producers as it makes for a fresh and interesting project. I started my own company, E-motion Pictures, as I did not like the sort of films being made. It’s not about making big money. For me, it’s about making a film you are proud of.

The idiot box? Doing A Mouthful of Sky, was great exposure, no matter what anyone says. People watch serials and television is a very powerful medium.

Bollywood fashion? Actors want to project their own look in films and not that of their characters, which means that there is no depth in the way they dress.

Personal style? I am most comfortable in jeans and a T-shirt. I do not think too much about clothes. Dressing fashionable is not a priority for me.

Fav designers? As a ramp model, I really liked working with Rohit Bal and Suneet Varma. They both have a very strong sense of style.

Men in fashion? Women are more important as fashion is mostly bought by women. So I guess, more attention is paid to them. But now men too are being promoted in the business.

Women? I am single right now. There is nothing I do not like about women. I love everything about them. Maybe that comes from the fact that I have three sisters. I do find I am attracted to talented women. Talent in anyone fascinates me.
