Pallavi Chatterjee, a renowned actor, director, and producer, shares her fashion mantra with us. For her, fashion means comfort. She says, “It means comfort over everything else. One has to look good; following trends is not important. I always wanted to do things differently.”
Defining her personal style in a few words, the actress says, “Elegant, appropriate for the situation, stylish yet classy, casual, and trendy. I am never into vulgarity. I am a qualified fashion designer, so my fashion sense was always very international, even before entering the industry.
Now it’s different, but I used to be super conscious about what I would wear, matching accessories with my outfits. Comfort and elegance are my main focus in fashion. I have always followed one rule: don’t do things that others are doing. Be different. I love wearing sarees. I believe an Indian woman looks her best in a saree. You can look sexy, attractive, and dignified. My mantra is, ‘Don’t look cheap, look attractive.’ I always wear a saree at all my public appearances.”
When asked about Hindi film actresses who are style icons, she says, “Sharmila Tagore, Rakhee, Rekha, Hema Malini, late Sridevi, Jaya Prada, and Reena Roy are all my favourites, and I was hugely influenced by the way Rekha ji used to dress and carry herself.”
The celebrated actor from Kolkata, Pallavi Chatterjee, is herself no less of a style icon. She will next be seen in Nikhil Advani’s “The Revolutionaries,” as well as in the Hindi feature film “Shawlwala,” along with several other films and short films that are currently under production.
