1. You were born in Chennai. How was it to shift from Chennai to Hyderabad?
I shifted at a pretty young age, so I could adjust easily. I kept visiting Hyderabad often during holidays and already have family here, so the shift was easy. But there are many things I miss about Chennai. The beach and the 'creative vibe' of the city. But now I've made Hyderabad my home and very happy living here. Its a great city to live in. 2. Idli, sambar, vadai or biryani? Dosa + mango chicken curry. I am a pakka Andhra boy that way! I love south Indian tiffins. Dosa tops my list, followed by pongal. Sambhar vada next. Then idly chutney. lol.. I like biriyani but no fan. 3. What is your fitness regime like? 2-3 days of Pilates a week. And 2-3 days of strength training + cardio. I stick to the basics. But main thing is diet and consistency. I've discovered Pilates recently and in love with it. Its a false perception that its meant for women who want a model-esque figure. Nope! It works muscles traditional weight training ldoesnt use much. I've become more flexible and have balanced strength after I started Pilates.
4. Your favourite perfume right now Diesel BAD. Zara Gold was my fav for a long time. Almost 2 years I used it.
5. What would you wear for a wedding in Goa? A white suit! and a red bow tie with nice, brown oxfords and slick back hair.. 6. Who do you think is the best dressed actress in the south ? Hands down Samantha! She is South India's fashionista. I like how Hansika, Rakul and Raashi Khanna's style too. They put good effort to look stylish. Another actresss is Seerat Kapoor. She's got an edgy style sense. 7. Which is your favourite Allu Arjun movie? Arya 2. I became a fan of my brother after that film. I dont easily cry in movies, but I cried during the climax. And I asked myself, can anyone love their best friend and a girl so much? How can someone have only so much love to give? Its a cult classic. 8. What is your favourite tv show? Entourage! Hahahaha.. I relate a lot to it. Its a little make-believe in many aspects, but a lot of things shown there are true too. My best friends Tanishq & Vaibhav have been my biggest support system. 9. 3 things that you think a man should have in his wadrobe 1) Blue denims 2) White sneakers 3) Black shirt. 10. Your favourite brand When I was growing up, I followed this cult called Abercrombie & Fitch. From head to toe I wore everything from that brand. This was about 2004-2009 when I was in college. Right now : No one brand.. But I like Jack & Jones, Zara, Aeropostale, GAP, Vans. Right now I'm going through this "athleisure" phase. Lets see how far it lasts. Haha.
