It was a learning experience. I took Marilyn Monroe's famous pose for Pooja Bedi, switching the black for red. Pooja was very accommodating. She was young and new and she knew exactly what suited her. Ayesha Jhulka loved overdressing, so we had to cut down her dressing. Her simplicity made this film one of her best.

Aamir was wonderful. I wouldn't say he was difficult to work with because I knew him so I had that advantage. He doesn't really interfere. He just wants everything to be more character-based than hero-based. Working with him is a pleasure. I have also worked with him on Hum Hai Rahi Pyar Ke and Rangeela.

On this film, my brief was everyone had to look young as they were all in college. It was difficult but they pulled it off fabulously. I am more of a costume designer than a fashion designer because, being a costume designer, you know what's good for the film. Being a fashion designer, you know what's good for the artist.

As a newcomer, I faced a lot of problems I remember trying to get hundreds of red t-shirts and then printing them for the climax scene. I bought every single red t-shirt in the market given a specific price range, from (Mumbai areas) Malad to Churchgate. Then, we had to import cycle gears that weren't available here. It was all a working experience though.
