How would you describe your body type?

I think I have an hourglass figure.

Has your body type changed over the last five years?

My body hasn’t really changed much but I’ve gained and lost weight a lot over the years.

What is the silliest fashion trend at the moment ?

I am not really a fan of tiny glasses and plastic shoes.



What are some of your current fashion obsessions?

Belt and bucket bags for sure.

In your opinion, what is the biggest mistake a person can make while dressing up?

Over-accessorising is never a good idea.

Which silhouettes suit your body the most?

I believe long flowy dresses with a clinched waist look best on me.



What’s a style every woman should try at least once in her life?

Classic white anarkali with churidaar and khussas, I think it looks very elegant and feminine.

If you could raid anyone’s closet, who would it be?

I would raid Victoria Beckham’s closet any day! She is one of the best dressed people in the industry.

What item in your closet do you wear the most?

I feel most comfortable in jeans and sneakers.

Boots, heels or flats?

Flats, always.
