This Wednesday (May 9) Saif Ali Khan walks the ramp for the first time.
"Yes, it's my first walk on the ramp. It's actually for a brand that I endorse (Provogue). They've asked me to walk the ramp. I'm supposed to be the closing act for their fashion show and I'm as nervous as hell," mock-shivers the audacious actor who has just returned to Mumbai from a lengthy schedule of
Abbas-Mustan's Race.
Why did Saif agree to do something so sartorially inclined?
"Why not?" he counters. "It shouldn't be too tough, really. I agreed because I always like to do something different. It could be playing the guitar or playing an uncouth hit-man from UP .... I like to surprise myself. And very honestly it can't be harder than performing live and dancing on stage, could it?"
In his typical Saif-and-sound manner he immediately looks at the situation from both ends. "Actually, you know what? It'll be fun. Meher Jassia (who co-ordinates the show) plans to make it look visually stunning. And Provogue are doing their best to make it a huge event. Let's see. I've a fingers crossed."
