This is the first time I am walking the ramp in Kolkata. Everyone says 'I was nervous'; I would like to differ. I was very confident, especially because Narendra Kumar made such good clothes for me!
Are you going to keep this sherwani?
No... I am going to steal it (laughs)... Narendra has no choice. I can pick anything from his collection anytime. He is not just a designer to me who helped me with my image and the style statement I carry, but he is an elder brother to me and I am honoured to be able to showstop for him at KFW II.
What's your style statement?
I always keep it simple, smart and stylish. Narendra always says that whenever he sees me he finds me very clean... not fussy, but classy.
Who do you think is a style icon in Bollywood?
There

are so many of them. But I think John (Abraham) and Bipasha (Basu) are really hot and classy.
