In an earlier interview with indianexpress.com, the designer spoke about the pandemic and its effects on the fashion industry.

“More innovation and re-invention. It has helped us tap into our true potential and the survivors of this have really proved their mettle. My biggest virtue is to always look at the brighter side and I feel it has changed the world for the better.
