During the conversation, he looked back at his journey and shared an anecdote about a major fashion faux pas he committed at the premiere of his debut film at an international film festival.<\/p>\n<p>Hailing from Rohtak in Haryana, Randeep spent almost six years in Australia as a student and worked as a taxi driver at night. His Australian accent eventually landed him his first big break in 2001 with Mira Nair&#8217;s film Monsoon Wedding. The film was screened at the Venice Film Festival in 2001 and won the Golden Lion award at the festival.<\/p>\n<p>Randeep walked down memory lane when asked about his biggest fashion blunder. The actor tells us, \u201cWell, I remember when I had gone to Venice for the screening of the film Monsoon Wedding at the Venice Film Festival. I didn\u2019t have any money, and a friend of mine gave me some money to go and suit for the screening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I went to buy a suit at an Armani store in Venice. The people at the Armani shop in Venice didn\u2019t entertain me at all. When I looked at the labels, I figured out why. So I had nothing to wear,\u201d added the actor, who walked the ramp for the Blenders Pride Four Elements fashion event in Gurugram recently.<\/p>\n<p>Randeep continues, \u201cSo I had these fluorescent corduroy jeans, green ones, and a black shirt.. The designer from the movie gave me a red shawl. So the premiere of my first movie, watching it on such a big screen with crowds of people, signing my first autographs, taking photographs at that screening\u2026 And I was wearing fluorescent corduroy jeans with a black shirt and red shawl. I can\u2019t imagine what that would have looked like now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <strong>On his fashion mantra<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Randeep, who was last seen in the film Jaat with <a class=\"backlink\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/topic\/sunny-deol\" data-vars-page-type=\"story\" data-vars-link-type=\"Manual\" data-vars-anchor-text=\"Sunny Deol\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sunny Deol<\/a>, prefers a laid-back approach to fashion, opting for comfort over experimentation. He says he likes to stick with what makes him feel at ease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not too much of a fashion victim. I just pick up and wear whatever I lay my hands on, what&#8217;s on the top layer of the wardrobe. It has to keep changing, otherwise I will just keep lifting the top,\u201d says Randeep.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to his fashion mantra, Randeep shares, \u201cIt is T-shirt and jeans or shorts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKeep the classic and tick the right boxes\u2026 Some people like to experiment a lot. That\u2019s also good. But I don\u2019t get into that too much because there\u2019s too much stress. I want to be comfortable. So I like fashion that makes you feel like you and comfortable,\u201d he ends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actor Randeep Hooda&#8216;s cinematic journey began over 20 years ago with Mira Nair&#8216;s Monsoon Wedding, which took him&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":112650,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[71220,171,71219,71218,53,71217,71221,67,132,68,30989],"class_list":{"0":"post-112649","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-australian-accent","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-fashion-faux-pas","11":"tag-monsoon-wedding","12":"tag-movies","13":"tag-randeep-hooda","14":"tag-randeep-hooda-fashion","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-venice-film-festival"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114958546034008549","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112649","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112649"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112649\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/112650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
