Bips on shopping
I love colours and wear all kinds of clothes.
I have started wearing trouser suits because you can't wear short skirts when you are meeting people.
As far as shopping is concerned, I am comfortable with everything in Bandra [suburban Mumbai] -- be it my DVD parlour Sarvodaya, or Freida's, my beauty parlour. I am so used to the service. My hairdresser, Dilshad, is also in Bandra.
I shop for accessories and other stuff on Hill Road, Bandra, at Choice Centre.
Linking Road too is a favourite when it comes to shopping. I buy my shoes from Regal, Metro, Shoebiz.
I also buy my exercise gear from Linking Road. There's a Nike store there too. I love Nike shoes.
I buy my clothes abroad. The rest of the things I need are available here in Bandra.
I get my foreign shampoos and makeup from Beauty Centre on S V Road, Khar [suburban Mumbai]. It's a very good place but, unfortunately, you don't get the entire range of foreign makeup there.
I used to shop for glasses and lenses at [Heera Panna, in] Haji Ali. But now, Ikon on Linking Road gives me what I need.
You also get the best watches there.
Then there's Vision2000 near Mehboob Studios, where I go for my glasses.
My grocery comes from Patel Stores opposite Mehboob Studios. I am completely dependent on him. If I need anything, I just ring him up and he sends it over. It's a fabulous store and stocks everything. I feel lost when he is closed on Sundays.
