Five questions with Rhea Kapoor
The Hindu
The stylist on fashion, OTT weddings, and her recent collaboration with designers Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla and Johnnie Walker Gold Reserve for #PourOfGold, a digital bar experience
Rhea Kapoor is self-assured, sassy, a mixology enthusiast, and has rejigged the styling rules in Bollywood. Meanwhile, designers Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla are no strangers to the glam life — they live it, design it, and sell it. In a unique collaboration, the three, along with Kapoor’s partner, director Karan Boolani, have come together to curate a rare bar experience, #PourOfGold, an Instagram-first campaign with Johnnie Walker Gold Reserve. The menu consists of five signature cocktails, such as the Gold Fashioned (stirred with honey and bitters) and Johnnie Walker Espresso Martini (infused with coffee and a touch of gold). The award-winning scotch’s signature smoked honey and vanilla notes make the concoctions perfect for grand celebrations. We chat with the producer-stylist on fashion and cocktails. Edited excerpts:
