The ex-Bigg Boss contestant has now become a business-woman! Mahek Chahal has had her clothing line back home in Norway but recently she ventured into online shopping with her own line of leggings called Cheeky Legs! We caught up with the Norwegian beauty to know more about her business venture, her idea of sexy legs and more...

Tell us about Cheeky Legs!
Well, I had my own clothing line in Norway and I have worked in the business of fashion for some 10 years. I really wanted to do something with legs because it’s close to my image. This one time I was walking down a road in Mumbai and I noticed that almost every girl was wearing leggings either with a kurta or a long tee. That’s when I decided that about doing something with leggings.

So is it only meant for girls with thin legs?
Not at all! I have seen that girls wear leggings mostly to hide behind them. I want girls to wear Cheeky Legs as a complete outfit and for the leggings to stand out and not hide the legs. My line of leggings is meant for girls of all sizes, not just for skinny legs. I have strong and muscular legs myself. My leggings have these vibrant prints that stand out and the eye immediately goes to the legs. You can wear them with a long tee or a basic kurta.

With brands like ASOS or Forever 21, why would girls buy Cheeky Legs?
I guess girls are buying it because it’s affordable and anybody can wear them. From a college-going girl to celebrities and models, it is meant for every girl. It is not a big and expensive, luxury brand, but whoever wears it will feel like it’s made for them exclusively! Also, the fabrics I have used for Cheeky Legs are high on quality, even after washing them, the form and the tightness of the legging stays.

What kind of prints can we expect?
I want to experiment with different fabrics, perhaps use more hand-work on leggings, or make studded legging. I like animal prints, digital prints and Indian prints too. I would also like to put out multi-coloured leggings, venture into nature prints, or have little stars and hearts on the leggings. The possibilities are endless.

Who do you think has the best legs in Bollywood?
I guess Malaika Arora Khan, Katrina Kaif, Jacqueline Fernandez and Sonakshi Sinha have the best legs. As you can tell by the choice of names, I am a big fan of strong and muscular legs!

Given a choice, who would you rope in as a brand ambassador for Cheeky Legs?
Either Malaika or Katrina, they both have great legs!

Take your pick, leggings or hotpants?
Leggings, any day! I believe that a woman can look classy and sexy in leggings, even better than hotpants!
