Haircare tips for men

~ Oil you hair regularly, even if you don't like it.

~ Use Clinic All-Clear anti-dandruff shampoo; it is not only for people who have dandruff.

You could also use Garnier Fructis shampoo.

Skincare tips for men

~ Apply a paste of multani mitti (Fuller's earth) and water on your face. Wash your face after half-an-hour.

~ Scrub your face with cucumber slices.

~ Want glowing skin? Drink a lot of water. I make it a practice to drink five to seven litres of water every day.

Diet tips

~ Have a healthy diet with lots of fruits, pulses, soups and salads with a lot of lettuce.

~ I also have at least 30 grams of yoghurt with every meal, paneer (cottage cheese) and protein shakes.

~ Once a fortnight, try having an only-fruits meal for an entire day. This cleans your digestive system.

Diet no-nos

~ Fatty stuff

~ Junk foods like pizzas, burgers, etc.

~ Never eat rice or white flour for dinner.

 Fitness tips

~ Make sure you sleep eight hours every day.

~ After working out a particular muscle, make sure you rest that muscle for 48 hours before you repeat the exercise.

Best male model: Milind Soman

Best female model: Sonalika Sahay.

It's difficult to pick the best female model -- I have seen all of them without makeup, you know!

Favourite designers: Rahul Khanna and Rohit Gandhi. Tarun Tahiliani. Ravi Bajaj. Manish Malhotra.

Favourite hangout places: Café Mocha (in Delhi and Mumbai). Olive Bar & Kitchen (Pali Hill, Mumbai). Mist (Andheri, Mumbai).
