Shop till you drop!




We got chatting with Chak De star Sagarika Ghatge, who is back with her new film Fox, about her favourite shopping destinations and what shopping really means to her.

Q. Is shopping a necessary evil?

A. I'm not a shopaholic. But like all girls even I like to shop for clothes, bags and shoes. But when you get out of control and end up splurging a lot, then it can become an evil. But nowadays I have started investing in jewellery. That really helps as I'm quite fond of it.

Q. Are you an impulsive shopper or do you think before you spend?

A. I'm an impulsive shopper. If I see something in a store that I like, then I might control myself initially but eventually I'll go back to it and finally buy it.

Q. Do you enjoy street shopping?

1. I love street shopping as you find a lot of interesting and different stuff.

Q. What are your favourite brands and who are your favourite designers?

A. I love Zara and Mango jeans, I practically live in them. Amongst designers, I simply love Sabyasachi, Tarun Tahiliani, Manish Malhotra and Shantanu and Nikhil's creations.

Q. If you were asked to steal one accessory from a high-end store, what would that be?

A. I would definitely steal a bag as currently I'm in the buying-a-bag mode.

Q. Has the recession affected your shopping?

A. Not really. I believe one just has to be a little careful and conscious of how much you spend.

Q. What are the five must-haves in your handbag?

A. In my bag you would find a cellphone, lip balm, kajal, perfume and a hair brush.

Sagarika's picks:

* An accessory - A nice belt. When you wear a jeans and a shirt, it's imperative to team it up with a good belt.

* Shopping destinations - Australia, London and Singapore

* Casual outfit - I love pairing my jeans with a smart top. I also enjoy wearing a nice casual dress.

* Formal attire - An elegant dress and a formal top with jeans.

* Party wear - It completely depends on the occasion. If it's a formal party then I would wear a dress. But if it's a casual event, then I would wear a dressy top with jeans.
