MM made many revelations on his episode in Too Much With Kajol And Twinkle, saying that his interest in the movies began when he was six.
'At the age of six, I would want to dance to every song, and I was always interested in clothes,' he had said.
'The '70s were iconic -- from Rajesh Khanna's kurtas and Amitji's collars to Zeenat Aman's glamour. But by the late '80s, films just didn't look stylish. And I was determined that I would only design for movies, and I'll always be a costume designer,' he had said.
