Model-cum-actor Arjun Rampal prefers to bill himself as a normal guy and neither a macho man nor metrosexual.
"Neither am I metrosexual nor a macho. I am normal. Metrosexual does not mean he is gay. I don't wear nail paint etc," Arjun, who is one of the big names of model industry, told reporters here at a Nivea event.
Arjun, who was voted as most desirable man and also the face of Nivea, feels that being desirable or sought-after is just a perception.
"I don't take such titles seriously. It feels good when your fans vote for you. My friends make fun of me and touch me," he chuckled.
Arjun said that he did not believe in promoting whitening of skin as it sounds racist.
"I endorse product that I use. I think everybody should be fashionable, there is nothing wrong in it. I think one must wear what they are comfortable with and not follow others," he said.
Arjun will be seen in Nikhil Advani's upcoming spy thriller 'D-Day'.
"I am happy with the reaction I am getting for D-Day. We are not glorifying anything," he said.
