Known for his perfection and unique approach to art and business, Hassan is expanding beyond the entertainment industry with two unique concepts close to his heart.
House of Khadar
The teachings of Indian spiritual and political leader Mahatma Gandhi inspired Hassan to create and design the House of Khadar clothing line. The designs are made from Khadi cotton fabric, a hand-spun and woven natural fiber cloth made popular in 1918 by Mahatma Gandhi during the freedom struggle of India. House of Khadar is shining a spotlight on handloom fabrics — and on bettering the lives of handloom weavers in India.
KH Memoir
Haasan’s fragrance line, KH Memoir, was inspired by the ancient use of scents. Throughout Indian history, people have used scents to celebrate prayers and religious ceremonies by burning fine woods, essential oils, scented resin, and incense. Haasan envisioned scents triggering people’s olfactory senses that would stimulate the sense of smell to create an emotional connection to emotion and memory. This explains the name, KH Memoir, which was created to transport people back to timeless memories of their past.
Both House of Khadar and KH Memoir are distributed in the United States in partnership with Chicago-based Delta Beauty Lab.
