Tellybuzz brings to you a new Monday column on 'Confessions of a Tellywood Shopaholic.' This week we tried to unravel the shopping interests of Arti who is playing the role of Trishna in Colors TV's Madhubala – Ek Ishq Ek Junoon.

Arti is a big time shopaholic and she spared some time to share this craze with us.

Share your craze for shopping.

Shopping for me is a stress buster. I crave for shopping whenever I am in stress or tension. But shopping is shopping for me – no window shopping. I have to buy stuff while I go, only then only I'll be happy. Its not that I love to shop for myself only but I love to shop for others too.

How often do you go shopping?

It all depends on my schedule. Sometimes I get time to go once in a week or sometimes twice in a week. Whenever I get an off from my shooting schedule, then I love to go shopping and return home with hands full of bags.

What do you shop the most for?

I shop the most for shoes. I love to buy them.

Your dream shopping destination?

I have heard a lot about China and Hong Kong and I would love to shop there.

Where do you prefer to shop in Mumbai?

I prefer to shop at Inorbit because its very close to my place. Infiniti II is also quite good but being close to my place I prefer to shop at Inorbit.

What would you buy?
If you were given Rs. 10: Rubber Bands.
If given Rs. 100: Bangles. I love to wear bangles.
If given Rs. 1000: I will buy shoes.
If given Rs. 1 Lakh: I would shop a lot for myself and would also buy gifts for my dear ones.
If given Rs. 1 crore: I will buy cars and gift those to my family members.

Your last luxury purchase?

It has to be my house.

Share how you feel after shopping?

I feel very happy and relaxed after shopping. Coming back home and opening the stuffs you bought is the best feeling one can experience after shopping. I just come back home, open the bags and feel very happy about what I have purchased.
