What is the worst rumour you have heard about yourself?

I’ve heard plenty of rumours, most of them being nonsensical. The worst rumour I heard was that some people who are not happy to see me successful in a short period of time, started linking me up with the designers I’ve worked with! That was the most pathetic thing I have ever heard.

Any lessons learnt the hard way?

Never trust anyone fully! Through all the experiences I’ve had in my life up till now, that is one thing I’ve learnt. We come across numerous people in our lives and believe them to be trustworthy when they’re actually two-faced. I only have faith in God because He is the one who answers all my prayers.

What’s the weirdest thing a fan has ever said to you?

Oh, there are tons of things I get to hear from them. It’s a blessing to be surrounded by people who love and support you all the time.

Anyhow, my fans are lovely and I appreciate their kindness for loving me for what I am.

What do you fail to understand about the opposite sex?

What is the most important relationship advice you can give?

Trust and loyalty. These two aspects are very important in a relationship. Having respect for the other person and a good understanding between them is what makes a bond strong.

When was the last time you kicked ass?

Recently! At the PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week 2011, that was held in Karachi. I showcased these amazing outfits from quite a lot of well-known designers and brands and got a great response. I had a phenomenal time and there’s so much more to come. Perhaps some surprises for you all.

What do you consider your best physical asset?

Have you ever done anything you shouldn’t have?

Actually there isn’t anything that I shouldn’t have done in particular. I took every step in life cautiously and always considered opinions of others. I believe it’s very important to live a pious life so I have kept myself away from getting involved in any sort of immoral acts that aren’t supposed to be done.

Have you ever envied another person?

Yes I have but only in a positive way. Envying someone doesn’t necessarily have to mean that you’re jealous of the other person. You just put in effort to become better than him. I never look down upon anyone, it’s just not right. God has showered His blessings upon me and I’m thankful for everything I have.

Define your sense of style.

I love simplicity, not only because of the beauty of it, but it shows the real personality within you. People generally categorize my style as ‘raw’ and ‘edgy’. I feel I am simple but in a unique way. Every person’s style is unique! My style is unique in a different way because I believe it’s important to be an inspiration to the people around you especially for the youth. It doesn’t always have to be a matter of your clothes or your looks, what matters most is your attitude and of course, how you carry yourself. Style is one thing that a person should be possessive about because you own it.

What is the price of success?

The price of success is only worthwhile when a person makes his own path due to his good deeds and hard-work so that others follow it. If someone is able to do that in today’s world, then that extent of success is priceless.
