When asked why he chose Huma to be his music for this collection, he says, “I asked myself who do I want on that runway? I want somebody who’s lived life a little. Real women who can say like “Hey I can wear Nachiket Barve and I don’t need to go on a lemon juice diet for three weeks necessarily."

Elated to have Huma walk for his show on Sunday at the Jio World Convention Centre, Nachiket says, “I have dressed her for years and this is the first time she is walking for me. She is a great representation of someone who is talented, who is vivacious, who carries herself with aplomb. And unapologetically so. And whether she has lost weight for a film or put on weight for a film, she is her own confident self and that really appeals to me. So, it is lovely to have someone who represents a wide array of women."

When asked about the reason behind collaborating with a celebrity, Nachiket expresses, “As a creative personality and as somebody who loves to make clothes, the idea is to make these clothes accessible and available to the widest kind of audience one can. And in a country like ours…I mean films play such an important part of being a part of that dialogue and that context."
