While actress Manushi Chhillar managed to win many hearts with her film debut last year, a lot of her admirers have been looking forward to her upcoming films Tehran and The Great Indian Family. But do you know? Manushi is not just a celebrated name on the film front, but also on the fashion front. Yes, on social media Manushi’s style game has been lauded time and again. While she aces on that front she even shared how she feels being lauded in that space. But before I tell you that, you need to have a look at the latest style statement Manushi made and it took social media by storm…
Talking about what Fashion means to her, Manushi says…
Fashion to me is about expression. I feel that there is a lot of creativity and it says a lot about a person. It is something that I really enjoy. I have always enjoyed and I have always admired the people who have a personal sense of style and express it through fashion. And I think I try to do the same in life. For me it is about the creativity involved, and it is about expressing yourself visually through the clothes that you wear and the look that you do. I think it is sweet if people are thinking that I’m trail-blazing in fashion. But like for me it has always been something that I have enjoyed and aspired to do.
Sharing how she sees fashion as an extension of her personality, she adds,
Since childhood I always would follow what supermodels were doing internationally. What trends were being followed. What everyone’s sense of style was. And for me today, having that freedom and accessibility is a blessing because I know that I absolutely enjoy it and I try my best to be as authentic and as honest as possible when it comes to expressing myself through fashion. And since I enjoy it, I feel like that I always try my best to bring my individuality through fashion. And it feels nice to get appreciation for that and people like what you are doing.
Traditional wear holds a special place in Manushi’s heart and commenting on the same she explains,
India has a long-standing history when it comes to fashion. Whether you talk about the textile or the handloom industry or even the fact that you travel from North to South or from East to West, they are traditionally, apart from wearing what was culturally necessary, there has been a certain fashion influence that the people and the society has had. India has a long standing history when it comes to fashion. We also have a lot of designers and it is great to see today that not just weddings, but there are designers that are there – street-style labels that are coming up and getting recognition Internationally.
Well, juggling on the film and fashion front is clearly not a cakewalk, but Manushi makes it seem like one and I absolutely love her for that.
