Sanjeev Kohli on Still Game, Department Q & his favourite fashion moments | Who Are You (Wearing?)

Sanjeev Kohli | Who Are You (Wearing?) What can the clothes we wear reveal about who we are? Welcome to Who Are You (Wearing?), the fashion podcast that's not really about clothes. Hosted by Scottish presenter, journalist and producer Alice Cruickshank, this celebrity, showbiz, arts and culture interview series uses fashion as a lens to explore identity, ambition, creativity and the moments that shape us. In this episode, Alice is joined by actor, writer, comedian and broadcaster Sanjeev Kohli, best known as Naveed in the much-loved Scottish sitcom Still Game. From television favourites to new projects, Sanjeev reflects on a career spanning comedy, drama and music: and the surprising role fashion has played along the way. The conversation begins with the cardigan Sanjeev wore to the recording, only to discover it features the iconic carpet pattern from The Shining... and the fashion ghoul who complimented him on it! From there, they explore his style journey, from trying to blend in as the only brown child in his part of Glasgow to embracing colour, confidence and clothes that reflect who he really is. Sanjeev also shares stories from his years playing Naveed in Still Game, revealing how his portrayal was inspired by his own father and what it was like seeing himself transformed into an older version for the character. He explains how costume choices continue to shape his performances and outfits, including Martin's tiny glasses in Dinosaur and why his wardrobe in the upcoming series of Department Q is one of his favourite character looks to date. The episode also touches on Scottish football, as Sanjeev discusses his new song, Back in the Game, recorded with fellow actor Tom Urie.
