Tamasha director Imtiaz Ali attended HT Mumbai’s Most Stylish Awards on Monday.
Asked what style tips he would like to give youngsters, he said: “I don’t know if I am the right guy to give tips on that, but I think style is different than fashion, and people should understand the difference.”
The director himself is usually seen dressed in a simple shirt and jeans.
When asked about the most stylish actor and actress in the industry, Ali said, “I think Jackie Shroff is the most stylish man in Bollywood. But there are too many stylish actresses, it’s hard to name one but I think Smita Patil was very stylish.”
Shroff was one of the leading actors in the industry in the 1980s and ’90s, and was known just for his performances, but also for his taste in fashion. And the late Smita Patil was known for her strong performances in non-commercial films of the 1970s the ’80s.
Ali’s last film Tamasha starring Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone released last year. He is currently in talks with Shah Rukh Khan for his upcoming untitled project.
