Blenders pride celebrates the importance of style

The Blenders Pride Reserve Collection Evenings took place at Jubilee Hills International Club on Saturday and was set in motion by the versatile actor and the style blender of Hyderabad Rajat Kapoor, who also led the audience through his style journey with his honest and humble life story.

Actor-Film-Maker Rajat Kapoor believes that style is about individual expression while fashion is external. Sharing his journey as an Actor, Director and Theatre personality Kapoor said he has learnt that it is not success that propels a person’s creativity but his experiences, both good and bad.

While sharing his story through the stage of Blenders Pride Reserve Collection Kapoor said, “Since childhood I have been irrevocably in love with films and its craft. My journey in the acting world has been eventful and interesting; often I have worked on storylines and scripts where we end up with results which were way beyond initial imagination.”

“What I learnt and carried with me was that success doesn’t necessarily mould an artist’s journey; a person’s own experiences, originality and style keep him constantly inspired to produce unconventional cinema. Believing in uniqueness and distinctiveness has fuelled my style and contributed to my personality,” he added.

Having said that he is not very fashion conscious but has a personal style, he added that “Fashion and style are two different things. Style is intrinsic, while fashion is external.” Talking about his future project he said that “I have written three scripts, hopefully this year I’ll start shooting a movie”.

Later Viraj Mohan and Kamakshi Khanna took to the stage and went ahead with their classic tracks along with a unique blend of intricate rhythms along with the music group Thalavattam that played folk percussion fused with electronica.

Assistant Vice President of Pernod Ricard India Raja Banerji said, "Through Blenders Pride Reserve Collection Evenings, the brand endeavours to celebrate style by creating an ecosystem where style is about a unique expression of an individual."
