Admit it girls, we all fancy our celebs.

Keeping this in mind, from time to time You! is going to share some interesting tete-a-tete with popular celebrities. This time around, we were lucky enough to get hold of Rezza Aly Shah, popularly known as 'Rezz' - a fashion choreographer-cum-event manager.
