Mumbai,: Shedding his reticence to discuss girlfriend Katrina Kaif publicly, Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor heaped praise on the actress by calling her one of the best fashionistas in Bollywood, as he himself took on the role of fashion model for Manish Malhotra.
The 32-year-old “Bombay Velvet” actor and Kaif, 32, have been a couple since 2009, but rarely comment on their relationship directly, although they have often dropped hints about their special bond.
Kapoor was the showstopper for Malhotra’s debut menswear line on Wednesday.
“I think Katrina has a great fashion sense. I really think she carries herself very well,” he said, before cheekily adding many more Bollywood actresses’ names.
“And so does Kareena [Kapoor], Priyanka [Chopra], Parineeti, Alia [Bhatt] and Shraddha [Kapoor],” Kapoor added.
“Till now, I have only heard of girls wanting to wear a Manish Malhotra lehenga. I couldn’t wear that garment but this is great,” said the actor, who wore a maroon velvet pant suit with a statement brooch.
“It was a great show. It was great to be walking the ramp for Manish. This is the third time we have collaborated and it feels nice.”
The actor said the one person whose style he admires and looks up to, is Amitabh Bachchan. “His dressing sense is all class. It is impeccable.” Kapoor said being in showbiz and surrounded by thousands of cameras have made him cautious about how he looks when he steps out of his house as he always wants to look good for his fans.
“We are constantly being judged, photographed. So I try and dress the best I can. If I have a bad hair day, I wear a cap, if I have dark circles, I put on sunglasses. I do that because I want my fans and the audience to get the best of me. I am sure others do it too,” he said. Kapoor will be next seen in Imtiaz Ali’s “Tamasha”, which will reunite him with former girlfriend, actress Deepika Padukone.
The duo have starred together in films like “Bachna Ae Haseeno” and “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani”.
