Mahek Chahal turns fashion designer

Mumbai: After spending a decade in showbiz, appearing in films like ‘Nayee Padosan’ and ‘Wanted’, model-actress Mahek Chahal is all set to turn designer with her own fashion label.

Mehak, 33, who was last seen in reality show `Bigg Boss`, said since childhood she has always been involved with the various intricacies of fashion. "My mother was passionate about clothing. I have grown up with her fashion influences and then also being part of the entertainment world, gave more insights into the fashion world. "Starting with only the ideas of colours, design, and shape, I don`t think I had that feeling about anything else as a kid. I would go into fabric stores or yarn shops and look at textures and colours and patterns with my mother. It`s a kind of ecstasy - my dream is finally getting fulfilled," she said in a statement. Mehak has recently opened her store in Norway, where she was born. PTI
