Everyone was in awe of Bollywood's fashion back in the day... except for Fawad Khan. The Pakistani heartthrob revealed that the fashion in Hindi cinema during that era was not something he liked.

When asked if B-Town influenced the actor's fashion choices while growing up, Fawad said: “As far as style is concerned, no. The Bollywood we watched when growing up was a time when Amitabh Bachchan was doing films like Satte Pe Satta and Anil Kapoor was doing Mr India," he said.

“In the 80s, film [Bollywood] fashion was something that was probably not in line with what I liked,” confessed Fawad. The actor, who made his Bollywood debut with 2014 film Khoobsurat, said men shouldn’t wear flared pants.

I was bullied in school, says Fawad Khan

“For the longest time, they were wearing flared-bottom trousers; they would start flaring from the knee-down so that’s not the kind of fashion that I necessarily agree with. I never thought men should wear those,” he said.

I am terribly frightened of women, says Fawad Khan

The actor, who has been lauded for being a lead actor in TV serial Humsafar, added that the fashion trend in the 1970s and 1980s did not “influence” his “kind of fashion”.
