I am not one bit surprised that Ness won the style poll: Preity Zinta

Being a style icon is perhaps the last thing on Ness Wadia’s mind. Shy and reticent, Ness would rather not be tagged with anything. No wonder then he is also not comfortable with being called one of the most eligible bachelors in town.

“I am not comfortable with these things," he says, "at the end of the day, perception is everything. If people think I am eligible, I am fine with it. I don’t like thinking about it.”

Ness says he is reserved like the rest of his family — parents Nusli and Maureen and brother Jeh. He definitely seems to have got his sense of style from his suave dad.

He states, “I couldn’t have asked for a better set of parents. They have taught me that success cannot be measured by what you earn or how you conduct yourself, it is more to do with what you leave behind in terms of the work that you have put in for society and the way you have changed someone’s life. The most important thing is to put a smile on someone else’s face, rather than wonder how successful you have become.”

However, girlfriend Preity is excited about him winning the poll. She says, “Ness’ style is effortless and comfortable. It’s nice to hear that he has won this poll. I sure am smiling—I am not one bit surprised by this news.”
