Classic and minimal on a daily basis (usually a dress or a kurta set), but I love dramatic and avant-garde creations for major events. I don’t have one style icon per se; I like to draw style inspiration from many different sources, from art and architecture to old movies, natural beauty, and of course fashion weeks. Personal style keeps evolving and the people/places we draw inspiration from also keep changing as a result.
My wedding lehenga, which Manish Malhotra designed for me. I absolutely love everything about it; it made me feel like a princess on the most special day of my life. a Buddhist bracelet I was given by my Shifu at the Shaolin Temple in China, where I recently went to learn kungfu.
It serves as a daily reminder of the importance of simplicity, discipline and gratitude that I learned there. Truffle, my Shih Tzu was gifted to me on my birthday 5 years ago by my husband Saharsh. He was just 20 days old at the time and fit on my palm – he is my first baby and a constant source of joy.
The best gift I hope I am giving my children is respect, acceptance, and unconditional love for who they truly are – I would hope this inculcates a sense of self-confidence, self-worth, and freedom to move in the direction of their dreams. A book at the airport – I absolutely love physical books and am constantly buying (and reading) them. My last purchase was by Marcus Aurelius.
