I have grown up in awe of Sushmita Sen – Amrita Rao

New Delhi, She has completely revamped her looks and broken out of her shy and coy image, but for actress Amrita Rao, her “Main Hoon Na” co-star Sushmita Sen is the ultimate style icon and someone she has grown up in awe of.

“According to me the most stylish person in Bollywood is none other than Sushmita Sen. I have grown up in awe of her since I was in school,” Amrita told IANS here.

“Apart from that, I closely interacted with her during the making of ‘Main Hoon Na’ where I realised that apart from her outer personality, fashion element and her dressing sense, she has this wonderful inner personality and confidence and for me it is her innate charm that makes her the style icon she is,” Amrita told IANS here.

The actress was in the capital to introduce the names of two designers – Namrata Joshipura and G. Pia Fleming – who will be showcasing an exclusive collection for Fiama Di Wills at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week, starting March 24.

The actress sashayed down the ramp, first wearing a black and beige balloon dress designed by Fleming and then a purple short dress by Joshipura.

When asked about her personal style statement, Amrita said: “I like to customize fashion. A lot of times we see things on others and feel that it will look good on us too, but that’s not the case always because each one of us has a different structure and different complexion so its very important to customise. Also fashion trends keep changing so its very important to be comfortable in what you wear.”

Amrita was last seen in “Short Kut: The Con is On” and is now taking her time before she takes up anything else.

“I am interacting with some filmmakers and am going through some very interesting scripts. For me its important that I do some striking work right now. I have done a variety of roles and I want to go a step further. I want to be careful with what I take up now,” she said.
