<p>Dressed in a sheer pink saree, the 'Vivaah' actress walked the ramp caressing a pink feather, keeping with the 'Swan Lake' theme. "I am not a model and I did not want to walk like one. I told myself that I am walking in a garden and that is what I did. I think it also goes with the theme of Suneet's show," said Rao.<br /><br />The 28-year-old actress reminded people of her character Poonam from the hit film 'Vivaah' as she walked and posed demurely.<br /><br />"There comes a role in every actor's life which becomes the actor's identity, like when people think of Hema Malini they immediately think of Basanti.<br /><br />Poonam's character from Vivah has stuck to me like that and I am glad that it has," said Rao. The actress who shook off her girl-next-door image with a glamorous makeover in 'Shortkut' said that her real life ward robe consists primarily of jeans and T-shirts.<br /><br />"I have very few Indian dresses in my closet, you'll find western outfits mostly. We have such a costumed profession that in real life I just feel like wearing jeans and a T-shirt," said Rao. Verma's spring-summer 2010 collection is inspired by Pyotr IIyich Tchaikovsky's classic opera 'Swan Lake', with ballet setting the tone of the show.<br /><br />"Any woman who is beautiful and elegant, including Amrita is a swan for me and my creations are for them. I have used the swan as a metaphor," said Verma.The collection which consisted of both Indian and Western wear was presented in a dramatic show, divided into parts interspersed by thematic ballet performances</p>
