Amitabh Bachchan has wrapped up the Unforgettable Tour. But he is still in the fashion capital of the world France. This time around it’s not on holiday but to shoot for the cover page of L’Homme’s inaugural issue.
The photo shoot will take place in Paris in a couple of hours and we asked Mr. Bachchan whether it felt any different from gracing the numerous movie magazines that he has been on.
"Yes I am in Paris now for the shoot for the cover of this magazine. I have not done fashion modeling for magazines, so I shall know of the experience later as I begin in a few hours. I would not expect much difference between film and fashion shoots. Both propel your face and what you wear to the reader," says Mr. Bachchan.
Always known for his sense of style and well cut suits, surprisingly Mr. Bachchan is modest when we ask him if he sees himself as the face of fashion and style. "I am embarrassed to be doing this at age 66 and cannot imagine myself setting any kind of face for this, but a friend asked and I do it," he says modestly.
"I do not know what fashion means. But I do know that a couple of individuals in Italy, France and UK,USA decide every year or season what mankind should be wearing to look fashionable and the entire world starts emulating them," he adds.
So what is more important - being in fashion or being stylish?
"I guess being stylish is preferred, simply because it is devoid of any outside compelling intrusion. But then it is also often stylish to be fashionable and vice versa!!" signs off the superstar as he gets ready to face the camera once more.
