Not per say, I try and go in for minimum jewellary. I am most comfortable wearing just a pair of earrings and a watch.

Do you have a tattoo or any piercing?
I don’t have a tattoo, and I don't plan to get one done either. I did have two piercings, one on my ears and the other on my nose, but neither suited me so I closed them.

Any particular brand that you like?
For casuals, I prefer Mango and Zaara any day.
