Famous Pakistani designer Deepak Perwani is a fan of Bollywood celebrities. After styling Indian stars, such as veteran actor Shabana Azmi and her husband, lyricist-writer Javed Akhtar, he now seeks to design for contemporary stars, such as Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor.
Deepak admitted that he and fellow designers and friends love Indian “cuisine, clothes, songs, dance and Bollywood.” When asked who he would like to make clothes for, the designer, who was in New Delhi for Aalishan Pakistan, said, “Deepika would be a great choice. She is stunning and gorgeous. I’ve always liked dark and dusky women. [I would also like to design for] Nandita Das. She is stunning. She is the epitome of an Indian woman.”
“Among male actors, [I would prefer designing for] Ranbir [Kapoor] and Varun Dhawan. They are the new kids on the block and I make clothes for those aged between 25 and 40. They are fashionable kids,” said Deepak, who started his menswear line in 1994.
