Journalist turned actor Donal Bisht was having a good run on Bigg Boss 15 until she was eliminated as a part of a surprise midweek eviction last week.

A strong contender on the show, Donal displayed an impressive fashion sense.

"I wear what I like; something that I am comfortable in," the Rajasthan born beauty tells Rediff.com Contributor PS Aaryan Khanna.

"I emphasise comfort over fashion," the 27 year old says discussing her love for fashion, fitness and idea of a perfect date.

Do you have a favourite designer or go-to stylist? 

There is no specific designer.

All the designers I have worked with are very good.

I wear what I like; something that I am comfortable in.

I emphasise comfort over fashion. And whatever you've seen me wearing is very much 'Me'.

But yes, there are a handful of designers in cities like Paris and Milan with whom I would love to work.

What are you most comfortable in?

It completely depends on my mood. I am a very moody person.

A fashion trend that you hate the most?

Everyone has their individual choice and we need to respect that.

How do you stay so fit?

I work out and exercise a lot. I eat clean as much as I can.

When you can't workout or visit the gym, how do you manage?

I do yoga on those days.

Do you follow a strict diet?

My daily diet includes coconut water.

That's something that I have in the morning without fail. And then I eat in smaller proportions throughout the day.

What do you indulge in on a cheat day?

A double-loaded cheese pizza.

Your Instagram tells us you love travelling. What's your favourite travel destination?

Europe.

What's your idea of a perfect man? 

Someone who is very chivalrous.

What qualities would you look for in a perfect date?

Good approach.

He must be compassionate and kind towards me and others; be skilled to hold a good conversation.
