You will be attending Vijay Goel's website launch today. Does this mean you are supporting the BJP leader?
I have known Vijay Goel since long. He has done a lot of good work like adopting several schools and reforming them. I am going to attend the launch of his portal as one of his supporters. I am not going to be a part of his campaign trail.
Will you campaign for him later?
I have no time to campaign for anyone. I have never campaigned for any political party.
Have you ever designed for Goel?
No, I have never designed his clothes. He has never asked me to design for him.
Do you support the BJP's ideologies?
I know a few BJP leaders and I appreciate their work. I support individual leaders and not their political parties. I know many leaders in the Congress too including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Home Minister P Chidambaram, Kamal Nath and Kapil Sibal, the Minister for Science and Technology and Earth Sciences. I also know the civil aviation minister, Praful Patel, from the NCP. I will support the leader who will work in the interest of the country.
Have you ever designed the wardrobe of any politician?
Yes, I have designed garments for many leaders. But I design their clothes as a gesture of friendship and not professionally.
There were rumours that you have designed clothes for Priyanka Gandhi...
No, I have never designed anything for Priyanka. And I do not want to reveal the names of the politicians for whom I have designed clothes.
