In fact, I believe, when you start young, people assume that you are undeserving,” Rhea said here. Such things don’t affect me”, she said here.

Though Rhea has grown up watching films, the glamour world never attracted her as she believes she is “too chilled out to be an actor”. “I cannot sit holding a crossed legged poster; I am clumsy person and a control freak. I would be a disaster as an actor! In fact, my personality also reflects on my collection” said the 30-year-old stylist.

The label Rheson has a collection of clothes that highlight daily, comfort and casual wear. “I’m the first consumer for my product, so I have to create things with conviction. You know I love wearing a sari, but I cannot sit on the floor, with my folded legs, especially when sitting for puja or in Diwali, along with elders. It’s so uncomfortable. So I made that palazzo sari, graceful but as comfy as one can wear like a track pants,” she said.

Rhea is also busy with the production of “Veere Di Wedding” and “Battle for Bittora”, both starring Sonam.
