Having been a part of the Hindi film industry for five years now, Alaya F has made a name and place for herself not just with her acting, but also her style. “Being a part of the film industry has made my fashion sense a lot more fun, but also a lot more personalised. When you are a part of this industry, you get to work with so many experienced people and that gives you access to so many incredible looks and styles,” she says.

But the actor insists on the need for not letting yourself get lost in the glitz and glam. “Amongst that, it’s important to recognise what works for you and discover what your personal taste is. My fashion sense is constantly evolving and it’s so versatile. Some days I want to dress up cute and feminine, while on some days I want to be edgy,” she shares.

Sharing her takeaway from her fashion journey, Alaya F reveals, “It’s important to understand what works on your body type. Through that, you discover your personal taste. Dressing according to your body type is the biggest lesson I have learnt through my fashion journey, and my personal style has become so comfortable due to that. My professional style has also become a lot more fun because now I know what works on my body type, so I'm able to take more risks.”

As a Gen-Z actor, Alaya believes that global exposure has been her generation’s USP. “Since we have access to the internet and worldwide trends nowadays, this generation has been able to explore their own style in more depth and detail. Everyone has a strong sense of personal style, which is very interesting,” she says.
