It's 2.30 pm in the afternoon and though actress Gauhar Khan says she is feeling under the weather, she looks fresh and excited. We are sitting at her office in Lokhandwala, where sister Nigaar, sitting nearby on a computer, is busy sending emails out. It's been a busy six months for Khan who just came out with a fashion line of her own. On the wall behind the sofa, hangs a sign that screams, Gauhargeous, which is the name of the collection as well. "It's been a mad six months, so I guess the excitement has got to me. But I clearly remember that in November 2016, I was sitting at a coffee shop alone and I wrote a note to myself and in that I said, I will start a fashion line, and well, here I am." We all know Khan through various avenues. She showed us she could dance in Jhalak Dikhla Jaa; she wowed us with nuanced performances in movies like Rocket Singh and Begum Jaan; she showed us she could be calm and graceful under pressure in Bigg Boss 7, could do musicals with her stint on Zangoora - the Gypsy Prince; and could also be glamorous and Kardashian-like in her reality TV show, The Khan Sisters. In an industry that could chew you up and spit you out, she has managed to cut clutter. "It's a hard place to be. People said don't do Bigg Boss, that's what happens when people have nothing else to do; people said don't do Rocket Singh, if you are not playing Ranbir Kapoor's love interest; or, don't shift to Gurgaon for Zangoora... I have realised you can only do what you can do. You can't take anyone else's path, you can't do what other people think is right. So I decided, I am going to create my own path because that's the only way I can be happy."
