'I'll embody the element of femininity in the male psyche'

New Delhi, October 14: It’s a menswear collection that explores the element of androgyny, but Sonakshi Sinha, daughter of yesteryear actors Shatrughan Sinha and Poonam, thinks it is just right for her ramp debut. “My role is to embody that element of femininity in the male psyche,” says the 20-year-old, who will model for Kolkata-based designers Dev and Nil for their Lakme Fashion Week show in Mumbai on October 22.

Sinha, who has known the designers for about three years, have often helped them backstage. “We have been saying that she should consider modelling. This time when we asked her to walk for us, she agreed,” says Nil, adding, “Since this is our first menswear collection, we wanted the right personality to project the theme. She fits the bill splendidly with her height and strong personality.”

Sinha, in fact, has worked hard on her look. “The concept requires me to look toned and fit so I have been gymming regularly and lost a lot of weight.,” she shrugs.

Even though this will be Sinha’s first stint in the limelight, she is unfazed. “I have been groomed since I was born, thanks to both my parents. It is not something that I have had to work for,” says Sinha, who has just graduated in design from the SNDT Women’s University, Mumbai, and hopes to launch her own designer label in a few years’ time.

Film offers, says Sinha, have been coming in for a while, but she’d rather let her parents do the choosing. “I won’t be allowed to do anything and everything. Thus, I have left the decision to them. I know whatever they decide will be the best for me.”
