Fardeen's easy seven

A portrait of the actor as himself


CLOTHES SHOULD MAKE A MAN LOOK LIKE A MAN. IT'S ABOUT YOU WEARING THEM, NOT THEM WEARING YOU FARDEEN KHAN


Fardeen Khan's interview is a breeze. Like his screen appearances.

Excerpts:

On forthcoming films and multi-starrers: Pyare Mohan in which my co-stars are Vivek Oberoi, Esha Deol and Amrita Rao, is scheduled for release in April.

Besides, I have four films coming up, including "Honeymoon" and "Idhar Udhar" (with Riteish Deshmukh).

These films will keep me busy till mid-2007. Yes, multi-starrers are in. Many have worked in recent times.

They are good as long as the scripts deserve a big star cast.

Bollywood is where he belongs: I knew it when I was doing college in the U.S. I was specialising in `Business of Films.'

So, sooner or later, I will be getting into production. I already have a few scripts in mind.

Ups and downs in his career: I've learnt a lot from successes and failures. I'm keeping my eyes and ears open.

On Friday mornings: No more Friday morning anxiety. Now it's Monday morning blues. That's when the fate of films is decided.

On being Provogue's perennial pin-up: We complement each other. As far as the brand is concerned, there's no deviation from my personal image.

Provogue's brand ambassador — that's me — is a contemporary urban fellow. Someone who is confident and sure of himself. He has his own sense of style and knows he's not answerable to anyone about it.

What style means to him: Clothes should make a man look like a man. They should be simple and to the point. It's about you wearing them, not them wearing you.

That's why I've stuck to Shaahid for over a decade now. (Looks at Shaahid) Hey, time I got someone new. (Laughs) Touch wood, we've lasted.

Life after marriage: (the star recently married Natasha, daughter of yesteryear actress Mumtaz) Oh yes, it's changed — definitely in some ways. You look beyond yourself. It's not just me any more. I know I'm responsible for someone else's life and happiness too.
