I don’t know what’s in my wardrobe: Fawad Khan

Fawad Khan, who's on everyone's hot list this season, was in Dubai recently for a launch. In an interview with Gulf News he spilled the beans about his style, his wardrobe, and how it feels to be an icon.

“I observe a lot and I try to pick out what looks good on me. I like to keep it basic and simple. Never too flashy. Remember, whatever suits you is the best, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be the trend or the rave of the season,” Khan told Gulf News.

“The strange thing is that I don’t know what’s in my wardrobe. I have such a small closet and my clothes are [rolled up] in a tight ball. Hopefully I will get a bigger wardrobe this summer because I am constructing a new house,” added Khan.

Fawad is quite the big deal in Bollywood after his appearance in Khoobsurat with Sonam Kapoor last year. He won the Filmfare Award for Best Debut for the effort.

Talking of the movie, he said: "Khoobsurat was a game-changer of sorts. In fact, every project of mine has been that because it created some milestone or the other. Khoobsurat introduced me to this huge, amazing audience so close to my home. In a lot of ways it has changed my life, but the game keeps changing.”

About his success, he said: "I give all the credit of [my] success to the team. Plus, it’s safe to do that because if a project bombs, then you can always blame it on them [!]”

Fawad remained tight lipped about future projects despite the fact that several rumours continue to swirl around the star - most notably that he has signed on to do Reema Kagti’s Mr.Chaloo next.

“I can’t make any comments on that front. Nothing has been committed or finalised. I am cautious and until it is not all penned down and until you hear it from the proverbial horse’s mouth, it is all conjecture. All I can say is that I have come across some amazing filmmakers. Now the difficult part is to make that choice. But announcements will be made soon," the star told Gulf News.

He did reveal, however, that even high-profile people in Bollywood were taken with him: "When Anil saab [actor Anil Kapoor, the producer of Khoobsurat] dropped in on the sets, he said: ‘yeh ladka aankhon se baat karta hain’ [This boy acts and speaks with his eyes]. So when an actor of that calibre makes such a statement, you know you are doing something right … It doesn’t get better than that.”
