One built a fashion empire with a conscience; the other redefined the rules for women in Bollywood. Fierce, feminine and so fashion—Anita Dongre and Kareena Kapoor Khan combine forces for AND’s F/W 2018-19 collection.
ELLE: You are both strong, independent, successful women. Do you see yourselves as role models?
Anita Dongre: We are privileged to be born in a cosmopolitan city like Mumbai, where we are able to live our dreams—Kareena’s dream of being an actor, my dream of being a designer. That’s why it’s important that we work as role models for other women, and show them that if we can do it, so can they. It wasn’t easy for Kareena just because she comes from a privileged family. She had to work hard to be where she is. Ditto for me.
Kareena Kapoor Khan: Hard work is hard work, and no one can run away from it.
ELLE: What does it take to build a legacy?
AD: Support. I come from a very traditional Sindhi family, where girls were not allowed to work. I broke that tradition, but I had to convince my parents. Once I did, they became my biggest supporters.
