Stylish and always best dressed for every occasion, Rahul describes his personal style as simple, classy and a little retro. He is truly inspired by the style of his grandfather’s generation and his biggest celebrity style icon is Cary Grant. I think Barney from How I Met Your Mother has learned to ‘Suit up’ only after seeing Rahul.
