On four fashion weeks in India:
There are too many fashion weeks. But it's an opportunity for the fashion merchants to sell their clothes, for models to work and for people to have a wider idea of fashion.

On men's fashion in India:
It's an emerging market. Men's fashion is developing and is developing on a larger scale. Men in India are now fashion conscious. They want to look good. They go through various treatments in order to look their best. They are getting wider and wider ideas in terms of fashion. So, basically, this men's day provides all the things today's man needs to look good. It's a good initiative by Lakme.

On pressure to maintain a perfect figure:
Definitely, there is a pressure to maintain a certain image. Worldwide, the industry has moved towards leaner men from bulkier men. So you have to stay lean, in order to fit into the clothes, and into the designer's list! The boyish look is in. A few months before fashion week, we start getting ready. I am somebody who cannot control food, so I have to exercise a lot. It's a lot of effort and exercise, and so is getting enough rest.

On the clothes this year:
The wearable quotient is high this time. The clothes are trendy, obviously, but they are also very stylish, which is most important.

On his own fashion sense:
I love wearing shorts and t-shirt, sportswear, etc.
