It's not often that we see established people from the world of fashion entering the film industry as leading ladies. However, Pernia Qureshi broke the mould earlier this month when she made her Bollywood debut with Muzaffar Ali's Jaanisar. While the film which featured Pernia playing the role of a courtesan from the 1870's sunk at the box office, Pernia seems to have emerged from the rubble anew.

Apart from upping the magazine’s hotness quotient, Pernia also reveals about her journey from launching a successful online designer business, to developing costumes for films (Aisha) and to eventually acting, all the while maintaining a balance between her various commitments, and to keeping her Kuchipudi practice up to date.
