Actor-director-producer Pallavi Chatterjee has revealed that comfort and individuality are at the heart of her fashion philosophy. Speaking about what fashion means to her, she said, “It means comfort over everything else. One has to look good; following trends is not important. I always wanted to do things differently.”Describing her personal style, Pallavi said, “Elegant, appropriate for the situation, stylish yet classy, casual and trendy. I am never into vulgarity. Comfort and elegance are my main focus in fashion.” The actress, who is also a qualified fashion designer, added, “I have always followed one rule in fashion—don’t do things that others are doing. Be different. I love wearing sarees and believe an Indian woman looks her best in a saree. My mantra is: ‘Don’t look cheap, look attractive.’ I always wear a saree at public appearances.”

Asked about her style icons from Hindi cinema, Pallavi said, “Sharmila Tagore, Rakhee, Rekha, Hema Malini, Sridevi, Jaya Prada and Reena Roy are my favourites, and I was hugely influenced by the way Rekha ji used to dress up and carry herself.” Pallavi will next be seen in Nikhil Advani’s The Revolutionaries, the Hindi feature film Shawlwala, and several other projects currently under production.
