New Delhi: Actress Athiya Shetty may have made her presence felt on the runway but she says she does not see herself as the next fashionista of Bollywood.
The 22-year-old “Hero” actress, who modelled for designer duo Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna on the fourth day of Amazon India Fashion Week Spring/Summer 16 on Saturday, said she prefers being subtle and simple when it comes to choosing her look.
“I am not here to become a fashion icon. Whatever I wear comes naturally to me. I don’t want to make a statement when it comes to fashion. I am very simple and minimalistic when it comes to dressing up in my personal life,” Shetty told PTI.
Daughter of actor Suniel Shetty, the one-film-old actress enjoys her time on ramp and always dreamt of being a showstopper.
“Walking the ramp was part of growing up for me. I obviously wanted to be a part of this. I always liked dressing up, do make-up and hair. For me it is a dream come true and I feel very excited when I have to walk the ramp. I am a big fan of Sabyasachi and I would definitely love to walk the ramp for him some day,” she said.
The actress says Sonam Kapoor is Bollywood’s real fashion icon.
“Sonam is a fashion icon, she is amazing when it comes to experimenting with her looks, clothes, she always ends up doing an amazing job. She has created a position for her own.”
On her career front, Shetty is currently going through a lot of scripts and will announce her next film as soon as she chooses one.
