What are five grooming essentials that you swear by? 

A good shower, or in my case, showers, never hurt anyone. Hygiene is basic, like breathing. A good hydrating shower gets me through, especially after workouts. Add to that a homemade shikakai mix which helps keep my hair rooted and shiny. A dab of moisturiser to keep the skin cells happy and most importantly, a fresh breath — mind you, not a mint factory. Brushing well and a good gargle after meals does the trick for me. 

A perfume we’ll always find on your dressing table? 

You by Armani or Guilty by Gucci. 

Three recurring products on your monthly shopping cart? 

LANEIGE cream skin toner and moisturiser, Neuherbs organic wheatgrass powder, and my gym supplements.

If you became a fashion influencer, what would your Instagram handle be called? 

@DaddyShah. 

If you had to nominate another celebrity to style you, who would you pick? 

Victoria Beckham! I think she has an innate sense of style that is a mix of moods. I believe she is the secret behind her better half acing every look, and who wouldn’t want that!  

Three things that make a good suit? 

First off, my suit needs to breath well, so I feel at home in it. Secondly, it needs to have excellent tailoring, nothing beats a suit that’s crafted to perfection. Lastly, the texture! Let the feel of it melt that cold heart of my date, I say!  

If you had a million dollars to spend on one luxury purchase, what would it be? 

Gotta be a Porsche 918 Spyder. 

Describe your personal style in three words. 

‘You like that?’ 

One clothing item that you’re currently wearing on repeat? 

My wifebeater tank top. Don’t stare… I didn’t name it! 

What’s a piece of clothing you wouldn’t be caught dead in? 

I’m quite experimental as far as fashion goes, but wouldn’t be seen in a kinky leather kilt, unless I am filming Gladiator: Part 2!  

Three fashion brands that you genuinely believe deliver bang for your buck?  

Nike, Patek Philippe, and Goyard. 

Watches or wheels? 

Wheels over watches, hands down! Even though I love watches, given a choice, I would definitely opt for wheels. 

A woman whose style sense you’re really into? 

Zendaya! I mean look at her. Be it any red carpet or a casual outing, or even a post on the ‘gram, she has this whole air of ‘IDGAF’. Without taking oneself very seriously, in a carefree manner, nailing every look each time is a skill that she has perfected.  

An ensemble you think you look best in? 

Throw me a classic three-piece or some hip street wear, I know I can carry it off!
