Sameer Madan and Anasuya Sengupta Dive into Fashion and Festivities at Lakme Fashion Week | The Fashion Scoop, Ep 38

·26 min·1 clip
Anasuya says she read Shameless in one sitting and had no doubt she wanted to do it.
The episode starts in that post-show rush. The host is openly excited, even says she has never done this before, and brings Sameer and Anasuya in with easy, curious energy. They are still running on the after effect. Asked about the aesthetics, Sameer goes straight to the mob-wife vibe. Anasuya explains how a small acting cue made the opening feel easier and more lived in. The show was not only clothes on a runway. It needed a cue, a character note, and a bit of performance so the collection could arrive with feeling. The host keeps the room loose. She moves from goosebumps to a movie question, and the answer gets funny fast. Sameer says horror calms him. Anasuya is not on board, joking that Annabelle nearby would be comedy for one person and trauma for another. Then the conversation opens up again. Anasuya talks about being a film buff, books, and storytelling as the thread running through different mediums. Fashion becomes another way to tell it. Sameer builds on that with his concept videos, especially when the inspiration behind a collection is not obvious at first glance. He knows his market is niche, so the video gives people a way into the clothes without needing every reference explained. The episode works because it does not feel like a shiny trend recap. It feels like two creative people explaining how mood, performance, and audience understanding meet. By the end, Anasuya is looking toward more acting and unexpected fashion work. Sameer has the most honest answer: one week off after three nonstop months. Goa gets nominated as the cure.
