Nandini Bhalla: How has your personal style evolved over the years?

Chitrangda Singh: “When I was younger, I was still figuring out what does and doesn’t work for my body. And, over time, I realised that I am a minimalist dresser—in fact, I follow the ‘less is more’ approach even when it comes to make-up. I gravitate towards understated elegance.”

NB: What do you like about trueBrowns?

CS: “The modern Indian woman does not want to look like she’s influenced by the Western style of dressing. I like how the brand caters to that very school of thought—they do not tweak traditional Indian silhouettes to make them seem Western. The cut, prints, and hues represent our culture and are perfect for the modern woman.
