Rajkummar Rao will make quirky clothes if he ever becomes a fashion designer

One of India's most talented actors, Rajkummar Rao recently participated in a fashion show and said if given a chance he would love to create quirky and futuristic outfits.

The 'Kai Po Che!' actor was in Kolkata to participate in a fashion show as the show-stopper along with his wife Patralekha Paul.

At the event, models flaunted robes created by the renowned designer duo Shantanu-Nikhil.

Asked how he will drape models on the ramp if he ever became a fashion designer, Rao told PTI, "Well, the robes would be quirky and futuristic. I would love to experiment."

Rao said that in the event, he will walk the ramp for the first time in his life and Patralekha will accompany him.

"This is my debut on the ramp. I am excited about it. Patralekha is senior to me in this domain," he said.

Replying to a query, the actor said fashion design is getting its due respect in Bollywood films now.

"There is a separate big department and it is really evolving," he said.

Speaking about his love for West Bengal and Kolkata, he said, "My wife is a Bengali. This city feels like my second home."

The 38-year-old actor, known for movies such as 'Love Sex Aur Dhokha' (2010), 'Aligarh' (2016), 'Trapped' (2016), and 'Newton' (2017) to name a few, said he loves Bengali sweets such as Rosogolla, Mishti Doi and Sandesh. (With Inputs from PTI)
