I like having a tailor everywhere because I am everywhere.

I’m surprised as anyone about where I’ve ended up. Maybe it’s because I say yes to things.

I’m an American searching for some sort of parameters, a way of life – I’m looking for a slight formality, for a place where you can never be overdressed.

I always like a good song: puts me in a good mood.

I spent the first five years of my life in Punjab, India, and then moved to New York.

My inspiration is always love and history, and my passion to a fault is craftsmanship and responsibility. Those are the simplest things. It goes beyond jewelry. It’s every part of my life.

It took me a while to find myself.

I got no hate in me.

I like the pause that tea allows.

I have so many friends and obligations, and I want to go out and support people. But we eat at home.

My mission in life is to preserve craftsmanship.

‘Life Aquatic’ was the first movie I did, and it’s been an incredible adventure since then.

I love my passport. I plan trips very last minute, so I always carry it with me.

One of my favourite activities is eating.

I like there to be some interest in every element of my life.

Hold the door for a lady. Wait until a lady is out of the elevator.

My friends are a huge part of my inspiration.

If people want to think I’m an Indian prince, I don’t want to dispel that notion.

I do things because I enjoy it. That used to be my downfall, but now it’s the upside.

I love anything to do with history.

I am less comfortable saying I am a jeweller and more comfortable saying I am a story teller.

My go-to jeans are a straight, narrow cut from A.P.C. or BLK DNM.

You don’t have to become Mother Teresa to make an impact in the world. But nothing can be achieved if, at the very least, we are not talking about it.

I have always had a sense of curiosity and aspiration.

I take my work seriously, but I don’t necessarily take myself seriously.

I love driving in the city at night.

My inspiration is love and history.

I create with my heart, so life and work inevitably intersect all too often.

I travel a lot, and I hunt for fabrics, then I have the tailor make me something.

I won’t do anything unless it’s the absolute best.

I need my fill of Indian home cooking.

Supporting causes with whatever we do can be effective.

I didn’t choose acting. The universe did.

People who know me know that there’s a light-hearted side, humour… But you could easily say I am cheeky.

I wouldn’t know how to think inside the box because I don’t even know where it is. I wouldn’t know how to do it any other way.

I work with gold that holds our past and diamonds that see the future and rubies that long for love. It’s just a way of telling a story.

I just want to create, and socializing is part of the experience. It might sound crazy, but I don’t see myself in the jewelry business. It’s an experience.

I primarily live in New York City, a place that is about constants, not letting up and not stopping.

I think the reason for my fascination with craft is what it represents, what it means in our culture, what it means in our history and in humanity. It was the idea that you could...

I’m a Sikh; it’s part of my religious tradition to never cut my hair and keep it wrapped in a turban.

My job is to put myself out there. It’s beyond my control how I’m perceived.

I’m a traditionalist with suits. It doesn’t need extra pockets, and I don’t want headphone jacks in my jacket. I appreciate designers who do different things, but for me, the most basic version of that...

I do believe in standing for something more than just a product.

I went through different styles but realized Ray-Bans are the classics. You can’t go wrong with them. I explore and cheat on them occasionally, but I always go back to the aviators.

I’m an explorer.

People think they have to give up things to make a difference to the world, but you don’t have to.

I’m driven by history and our past. That’s why I work in gold. It’s in your veins. We’ve been lusting after gold since the beginning of time. God, glory, and gold.

I work with gold that holds history, diamonds that see the future, and rubies that long for love.

I don’t drink coffee.

Someone gives jewelry, and there’s a bit of romance. If you buy it from a store, the store is trying to romance you. Even when I’m making the jewelry, I have to be romanced.
