Q: Tell us a bit about how you feel about your association with Blenders Pride Fashion Tour for this special show.

A: Fashion has almost become a way for me to express my deepest feelings—how I perceive myself, my ideas about society, and how I aspire to be. It has always been a powerful medium for my self-expression and having that outlet has been incredibly empowering. Beyond being a performer and actor for the past 20 years, being part of Blenders Pride Fashion Tour provides me with a fantastic platform. It is a place that organically attracts me. It looks like we have gravitated towards each other. More than anything, it is a celebration of so many incredible creative minds who continuously shape globally relevant trends while remaining deeply rooted in the superior craftsmanship we possess—something that sets us apart from many other countries. It's where the virtue of how long we have been doing this and the kind of variety of karigari we have in our country. It's an absolute high and pleasure to be a part of Blenders Pride Fashion Tour.

Q: How is the collaboration with Bloni & designer Akshat Bansal going to be?

A: It's been a very exciting journey because we've been trying to put up a very futuristic and very powerful show. It's wonderful that I get to do it on Women's Day. That's very special for me. And the fact that Bloni is going to channel something that feels it is somewhere giving a light upon what, when we say what's a strong woman, he's really kind of put that into his creations. It's wonderful and symbolic that we all are doing this on the stage of Blenders Pride Fashion Tour.

Q: Personally, what's your routine before stepping onto a ramp for such a show?
