I have great stylists. Actually, my sister also helps me...I have a good team around me."

"For me the most important thing is to be comfortable and to look nice and presentable. I really don't care about the new trends and that's not my thing. It's about just being cool and comfortable. My style statement is comfortable and easy," Sania added.
