Actress Anoushka Chauhan, who was seen as Maya in the web series Campus Beat, is currently seen in the show Krishna Mohini. The actress says that your fashion should spell who you are and adds that it is important to keep it original.
“Fashion is instant language. When human contacts are so quick. It’s important to say out loud what you represent and how you want to be seen. It’s not just what you wear or accessories with, it is where you come from, what you believe in and where you are going,” she says.
She adds, “People who follow fashion trends are people who don’t have their fashion style. You lose your sense of individuality. Fashion trends are something which are not always environment-friendly too. Is it good to be updated about what’s in trend? Yes, but what you wear should be a blend of your fashion style and what’s trending. I don’t think as an artist I ever felt the need to follow what’s in but I surely want to be the trendsetter.”
Ask her if she is comfortable picking up a character whose fashion sense is opposite to how she looks, and she says, “I am open to the idea of playing any kind of character coming from any segment or status of life and lifestyle. whether it is a girl from South Bombay or a girl from Dharavi. It is not even a subject which comes across my mind while selecting a role.”
She adds, “I don’t believe that anyone should confuse the reel-life you to the real-life you. What we play on screen is the true depiction of the character we play. But we must step out of it and live our life the way we want to, because otherwise it will kill the beauty of performing art, of cinema.”
Meanwhile, ask her if she feels that one can go overboard in fashion, and she says, “I like to keep it classy and simple, something which depicts what I am. It should be a statement. But something that I definitely won’t wear is a black dress. If you are being yourself, then there is nothing called going overboard. But, it is wisely said that when in Rome, be like the Romans. I try to wear something appropriate as per the occasion and the place with a hint of my style,” she says.
