I’ve been conscious of my outfits from as early as second or third grade: Megha Sharma

Megha Sharma, who has been part of shows like Baal Krishna and Mahakali—Anth Hi Aarambh Hai, says fashion not only means wearing an outfit with confidence but also dressing right for any occasion. She also shared that she has been putting efforts into her style ever since she was a kid.

She said, “For me, fashion is all about feeling confident in yourself by wearing the perfect outfit for the right event. It’s about dressing appropriately for the occasion and place, not just putting on anything without thought. Your outfit should make sense based on the event, whether it’s day or night, and according to the location. That’s what fashion means to me.”

“I’ve always been very particular about my style since I was young. You could say I’ve been conscious of my outfits from as early as second or third grade. I was so particular about my clothes even back then, and I always wanted to wear what I liked. It might sound funny, but my mom would buy clothes based on my choices because I insisted on wearing what I thought looked good. Even as a child, I always had my own say in my outfits,” she added.

But she doesn’t believe in changing her wardrobe often. She said, “I get bored of my clothes very quickly, but I don’t like to get rid of them, especially the ones I love. I just put them away for a few months so I can bring them out again later. I don’t like to wear the same clothes too often.”

Megha has always had an inclination towards polka dots and wants to see it make a comeback. She added, “They look really nice, especially on dresses.”

But she mentioned that she is not someone who follows fashion trends very frequently. “I just love to wear what I feel like wearing, based on my day and my mood. When I wake up in the morning, it’s all about how I feel. I don’t plan my outfits in advance. I do follow trends, but not just for the sake of following them,” she said.

“If something is trending, I don’t feel the need to go out and buy it right away. I wear what suits my mood. If I’m happy, I’ll dress in a way that reflects that, but if I’m not feeling great, I might go for something more casual—even if I’m going to a nice place. For me, it’s really all about how I feel,” she added.

Megha loves everything about fashion and enjoys being fashionable, pairing her outfits, whether it’s jeans or dresses. “Since childhood, there was no one who really inspired me in fashion. My mom is from an army background, so she didn’t have a lot of extra clothes. Most of my life, I saw her in uniform. So, my love for fashion didn’t come from her; it came from within,” she said.

“I’ve always loved dressing up and playing dress-up games. I used to stitch clothes for my baby dolls and create fusion outfits for them using different fabrics and sequins. I think, in a way, I inspired myself when it comes to fashion,” she ended.
