What we also know is how he loves being in the spotlight, and finds a way of getting there. Blond wig, scarlet lipstick, weird schoolmarmish heels and a georgette gown, the designer-turned-drag queen made his LFW debut.

Krishna was sure that her version of Paris would not be complete without the quintessential drag queen. So while crisp jackets and flowing tunic shirts were seen on the models, Rohit strutted in wearing a bizarre ensemble, a knee-high slit showing off freshly waxed legs. "Even the tits are amazing!" he laughed. Does chewing gum help calm your nerves, we asked him. "I'm not nervous," he said. "I'm a couple of drinks down, but not nervous."
