‘I’m Topless Throughout’

Anything you would add to update it?
It’s perfect as it is.

Ever thought of writing your own version?
If anything, I would draw my own little Kama Sutra.

Was it awkward doing an intimate campaign with a stranger?
Both Dipali (Ghosh) and I were very nervous.But then we decided we would have a couple of glasses of wine, relax and just do it.

You were recently named the most stylish model on the ramp. Any style tips for your fellow Indian men?
Just one: Boot cut jeans—please, please, stop wearing them. They’re so not cool. Also, I have a lot of female friends who keep complaining about how so many men smell. So, here’s a very important tip: Hygiene.

Any plans to move in the filmi direction?
I have a bunch of offers already, but I’m doing other things right now.

We heard you were on a cookery show?
I’m going to be the first celebrity guest on a reality cookery show called Cook Na Kaho for Star One. The basic concept is to try and make proper cooks out of men.

Are you any good?
Since college, I’ve been a microwave chef. The recipes for the show were easy enough, thank you. So it wasn’t all that bad.

Any offers to do an item number?
If I had an offer, I would definitely do it. In fact, in my latest project, the video for a remix number by Bally Sagoo, I’m the one baring it.

Tell us more about this hot video.
The song’s called Bindiya Chamkegi. The video’s totally different because the woman is completely clothed throughout, whereas I’m topless during the entire sequence.

How do you feel about being Mr Amrita Arora?
I spent years as a successful model in London before moving here, I even did a campaign for Kenzo. The problem is that some people are so Bollywood-struck that they rarely see anything else. In fact, if you ask people to name five top male models in the country, I would definitely be one of them, I guarantee you that. If people who don’t know any better say other things, then that’s their problem.
