True to his earthy image, Bollywood star Akshay Kumar says he likes women in traditional attire.

"Women look fabulous in traditional attires. I have always liked women dressed in Indian clothes and with a ghunghat, " Akshay said.

The actor, who is hosting and co-judging Star Plus' "MasterChef India", is particularly impressed with Zebi, a contestant who hails from Lucknow. A very quiet young woman, Zebi has not compromised on her traditions and culture even while shooting and is always clad in simple salwar-kameez and takes a dupatta on her head.

"Zebi has the nazakat (grace) that every Indian woman should have in her, " the actor said.

"MasterChef India" is a cookery competition show.
