The actor insists that she loves experimenting as it reflects her evolution. “I love experimenting and eventually evolve as a person, be it in acting or in terms of fashion. Sometimes when you experiment, it's not necessary that it would be in your comfortable space. But if it makes me look good, presentable and the way I want to look, I don't mind experimenting,” says Keerthy.

But is she someone who follows trends? “It's a little bit of both, following the trend as well as trying to make one. But I love sticking to classics as well. And when it comes to trending fashion, I try to adapt to them. I try to see if that works on me. It's also about how comfortable I feel in that. So, if it works for me, I go for it, otherwise maybe not,” she responds.

Keerthy finds her fashion inspiration in the late Hollywood actor Marilyn Monroe. “She's someone who taught us how to love yourself and your body. She was never a size zero, yet she still showed us how sexy she could be. She was one of the sexiest and most attractive women. And while today sizes are considered a shame, she flaunted hers beautifully. She was she was definitely an inspiration, and I love her so much that I hang pictures of her in my in the hall in my house,” she shares.

Ask Keerthy what is the fashion legacy she would want to leave behind and she replies, “The legacy that I would leave behind, or if I could leave behind, is that Keerthy could pull off any clothes effortlessly.”
