Former supermodel-turned-actor Muzammil Ibrahim is glad that new male models now have a platform in the Van Heusen India Mens Week (VHIMW) that got underway recently.

Ibrahim, who walked the ramp for Rajasthan-based debutant designer Himmat Singh, looked regal in a brocade blue bandhgala sherwani, pink bandhani saafa, a bejewelled broach and a traditional sword. He charmed the audience with his trademark flamboyance as he air kissed and co-ordinated his steps with three children dressed as young princes.

Muzammil won the Gladrags Manhunt Contest in 2003.

Talking about his personal style of dressing, the 25-year-old actor said: “I like mixing both Indians and western since I have been in the core of fashion, I know both styles very well and I feel the best way to use them is by mixing both of them.”

Muzammil made his Bollywood debut in Pooja Bhatt’s “Dhoka”, which turned out to be a commercial failure. Now, he says he is working on an untitled film along with actors Shreyas Talpade and Rajeev Khandelwal.

“I did see a slow period in my film career, but everybody does. I wanted to wait for something that is classy and meaningful rather than just do whatever is offered to me,” he maintained.

Muzammil is also remembered for music videos like Lucky Ali’s “Kabhi Aisa Lagta Hai” and a remix of “Pardesiya ye sach hai piya” with item girl Rakhi Sawant.
