Get to know... Payal Pratap

Currently I am

Enjoying the response to my first all-denim show and my first menswear show at Lakmé Fashion Week.

On my playlist

Nice To Each Other, by Olivia Dean. Dumb and End of the Road, by Noga Erez; and Roll It Up, by Pertinence, which played at my show.

On my speed dial

My husband, Rajesh Pratap Singh.

Today I’m craving

Ghar ka khana.

Next big splurge

Travel gear for a trek.

Last thing I ordered online

Organic vegetables.

Advice I’d give my 18-year-old self

Don’t take life so seriously. It goes by in the blink of an eye.

A secret skill I have

I can cook when I want to cook.

A superpower/magic tool I wish I had

The ability to bring peace.

My favourite Sunday memory while growing up

Dosa lunches with the whole family.

My favourite bad habit

Biting my nails.

If I could travel back or forward in time, I’d…

Go back rather than forward, as that would be better in today’s environment of conflict. The ’70s was surrounded with love.

A trait I despise in people

Lying is the worst.

I won’t leave the house without…

Smooching my doggies.

The best thing about fame

You get to be responsible and have authority in your field.

The worst thing about fame

The pressure to continually outdo yourself.
