Are you just fashion conscious or see yourself as a statement maker? I cannot categorise myself as falling into either, as I do not dress up with any intention as such. Actually, my instincts dictate my dressing sense. What do you prefer traditional wear or western outfit? Its got to be traditonal attire, especially sarees. Western outfits can never really match up to traditional Indian outfits. Your wardrobe is dominated primarily with... Sarees and loads of sarees. How much time would you require to dress up? It depends on the situation and my mood. I could very well dress up in 5 minutes or if the occassion is special, then maybe 30 minutes is sufficient. Where do you get your exquisite jewllery and clothes from? They are exclusively made by my jewellery designers and dress designers. At times even my shoes are made to order. What do you wear on days when you are not shooting? When I am home, its mostly pyjamas, ganjees alongwith T-shirts and while I am going out it's mostly jeans, churidars and also skirts. Nowadays, I 've got this new fancy for skirts. Are you brand conscious? No, I am not particulary brand conscious with regard to clothes and jewllery. But yes, I do possess jeans and other accessories such as sun shades which are branded. How much do you end up spending on your clothes and jewellery items? I have no such fixed amount to quote. If I like something, then I don't care about the price and make sure I buy them. But, I usually do not spend huge sum on clothes as we cannot be wearing same dresses again and again. But yes, if there is some jewellery which is out of the ordinary and allures me then surely I am all willing to spend any amount.Then money is not a factor.For I am shopaholic. Of all the clothes you possess which is the one you cherish the most? I actually cherish all my clothes,because I have personnally got them. So, I find it extremely difficult to to let go of my clothes, especially my sarees. In fact, I get them redesigned into some other dress .So, this way I get to wear them more often. Which is the most expensive dress you possess? It has to be this saree which I recently bought while I was in Lucknow. The saree cost me around Rs.28,000/-. It consists lucknowi works on chiffon and is embedded with lot of precious stones. The saree has three shades of blue. Who according to you is the best dressed artists in your circle? It has to be Mandira Bedi, Simone Singh, and of course Myself. And in the league of actors I feel Ejaz Khan, Iqbal Khan and Nikhil Arya fits the bill of being well dressed. You have beautiful and healthy hair, why did you opt to cut them short.How do you maintain your tressess? I simply wanted to see how I would look in short hair. Well, I do make it a point to have oil massage once in 15 days. Otherwise, also I regularly wash my hair and make it a point to condition them with good and reliable products. I make it a point to carry my personal hair care accessories during my shoots. Finally, What is your take on those engaging in skin shows in the name of fashion? That is one's personal choice. Comfort level is essential, If one looks good then surely there should be no problem in doing it. But It must not be looking vulgur and cheap.
