Deepika is one of my absolute favourite Bollywood actors. It is wonderful to have someone of her stature wearing my brand

I think I'm just really in love with women, and I love to see them looking incredibly, truly beautiful. I think every time a woman wears one of my dresses, you know, in a matter of speaking, I'm having a little love affair with her!

I love draping; it's less about proportion than fit and the fabric. It's very specialized and I think when women see the construction, they respond to it immediately.

There is undoubtedly a lot of pressure that comes with recognition, which can be a good thing and bad thing all at the same time. But if you stay focused and don't lose sight of what you're doing and who you are, you can rise above it.

A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman, but a beautiful woman with a brain is an absolutely lethal combination.

Always aspire to become the next you, not someone else

I'm fascinated by furniture design and interiors, and I want to try designing all that stuff.
