On Designing For Shweta Bachchan's Wedding
Recalling one of the standout moments of his career, Khosla said that being entrusted with Shweta Bachchan's wedding by Jaya Bachchan was particularly special.

On The Bachchan Family's Iconic Style
When asked about the Bachchan family's fashion sense, considering that each member has a distinct personality and style, Khosla praised Amitabh Bachchan's influence on men's fashion.
He said, "I think Mr Bachchan is the ultimate cool person when it comes to fashion. He's always been a leader. He loves luxury, he wears luxury, and he carries everything so elegantly. He's made the men's shawl so popular and easy to wear for every man in the country. Whatever you give him to wear, he's unafraid to wear it. He's not following trends; he's setting them, and he knows that."
