Fashion designer. Most recent ramp shows at Lakmé Fashion Week, Mumbai and a fashion showing in London at the Lanesborough Hotel. Specialises in party clothes that are feminine, soft and flowing.

My Designs: I am a very jeans and T-shirt person. I use a lot of black and white. There is a certain boldness in the embroidery that I use. My styles are feminine and soft and also have a masculine side.

Masculine side: I wear men's watches. I am very into cars - I love the technicalities and the specifications and this is a passion that I have nurtured since I was 10 years old. Recently, at Lakmé Fashion Week, I took part in a competition held by Chevrolet to design a car inside and out - and I won the car!

Personal style: Less is more. I am a very classic person.

Life's motto: Believe in what you do and always have faith. Positive thinking will take you places.

Cartier: I love Cartier and in my family, my mom, dad and grandmother, have always been Cartier fans. There is one watch that I want but I will have to wait for it since it is so expensive. Crash is the most stunning watch, a limited edition. It has to be ordered and it is on my most wanted list.
