Q: If you were allowed to own only six items of clothing, what would they be and how would you mix and match them?
A: The six items of clothing would be:
1. A pair of Jeans
2. A tight fitting V neck top
3. A polo tee
4. A Floral or striped Maxi
5. A short dress with a belt
6. A Mini skirt
I would mix and match the jeans and the skirt with the tops. The maxi and jeans can be worn during casual outings while the short dress and mini will be good for parties or night outs.
Q: Do you think we should avoid cosmetics with certain ingredients in them like parabens or sulphate? If so, why?
A: Yes Cosmetics with those ingredients should be avoided, you can alternatively use a good moisturiser with collagen. Sulphates and parabens should be avoided as they strip your skin of moisture and cause PH imbalance.
Q: Which celebrity’s style do you admire the most and why?
A: I like Susanne Khan (Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan’s ex wife and India’s most famous interior designer). She has the poise and figure to carry off any outfit/attire. She’s not only glamorous but also very elegant and dignified.
Q. Is there any homemade remedy, that you would recommend for glowing skin?
A. Mix two tablespoons of honey with four tablespoons of milk and a pinch of turmeric powder and apply on your face and neck. Rinse after a few minutes. This will give you an instant fair and radiant look. If done every week, it substitutes an expensive monthly facial.
