Exclusive interview of Anupama Verma, said some interesting story about her brother Rohit Verma
Tell me something about yourself?
Great fashion Designer Rohit Verma’s sister Anupama verma said that Rohit Verma is very creative person from the age of 3 as in 90s there were not the proper TV channels but for him hiding from their father they put the TV cable so that he can gain some more knowledge. As he became little big he used to cut their mumma sarees and make dresses for his sisters . So he used to go to the tailor shop stand there and make him design the dresses . During vacations he joint different courses he did textile printing, hand painting, as we know we are from very academic family everyone is Doctor ,Engineer and he was the offbeat as my father said (darzi banega ye bada hokar) but now my dad is very proud of him, as out of all brother and sister he has made a mark for himself.
What is your qualification?
I am myself an MBA but now I feel that studies are not everything off course it is important but I think if you are blessed than blessed it will come into your life anytime so Rohit has a talent of fashion designing so he did fashion designing from London school of fashion as well he did six to seven month course but he started it in a very early age,he left Allahabad and came to Bombay. So I don’t know very much about him because I decided to get marriage very early. There have been lot of partner in his life who have cheated him in a very big time but we still approach him, he is just 17-18 year old at that time we were all happy that he is making his own mark that time he used very fine organic cotton he is still very fond of organic pattern so I saw his journey.
How do you describe Rohit Verma as your brother?
I have been watching him, since childhood than off and on I kept hearing because at that time I was climbing my corporate ladder. My brother is not a number person he only do creativity but he doesn’t understand the number money is one thing that he is not interested in off course everyone need money to survive but he is not knowledgeable that much so after that last he had very bad experience
with his last partner the brand
name was Harrey at that time.
How do you support your brother?
I saw Rohit was not very happy and that time I was serving the corporate world and one fine day he messaged me and said I am going to suicide .As I m not feeling good about myself I said don’t worry we will catch up tonight and let’s talk about it and then it started it was in the month of July in 2012. He said i’ll start my own designing company but I need you in that because since childhood he believed in me a lot so I started juckling between his work and my work initially I have 5 days work and Saturday and Sunday I used to give him but it did not happen that way so I have to give resign from my job in nearly 40-45 days so now it has been more than 6 years as we are together.
When he was in Big Boss house, How do you handle the stress and pressure?
Ooo! please don’t ask me I have never been watching television but at the time when he went in the house I made my mind set to watch the show and that’s the only season that I saw at that time I was in Delhi and I was serving fortes company and from there every day I used to sit in front of the TV and initially it was very good but than I was watching my brother and there used to be so many emotional things happening, there was so many things that we were not aware as a family and it was there on the screen. In 2009, Big Boss 3 when my brother went in that house I made a point to see it I think very sincerely I haven’t watch any show like I watched Big Boss 3 and it started becoming more dramatic not because he was my brother but actually people were loving him and hating him both so that was very high time for our family.
How do you manage your schedule when Rohit is out of town?
See! When he was not here I have to mange everything but when he is here if I want to come I can come or if I don’t than its fine but when he is not there than I have to be there until and unless my travelling also clashes with him, we take turns to travel if I m travelling then he shift his date accordingly and if he is travelling then I shift my date accordingly but sometimes it happens that urgently we both have to go out so then ofcourse we have very good staff they handle the things. Rohit is a workaholic person he never sit neither he let staff sit idle.
How do you manage your fitness?
I don’t plan my diet or I don’t respond to my health or fitness but yes I do yoga every day in the morning so that I keep my mind fresh whole day.
