Shadow shopping

Actors Gurdip Kohli and Arjun Punj had chalked out their marriage plans long back. Both of them had informed their respective producers about their month long leave starting from November. Aparently, the duo had no idea what the future held in store for them. Now that they are a part of Nach Baliye 2, it gives them very little time to get their bridal trousseau done and finalise the nitty-grittys of their wedding that is scheduled on December 10. "Currently, I'm either shooting for my serials or rehearsing for Nach Baliye 2. I've yet to pick up stuff for my trousseau and Arjun too has asked me to shop for him. I have no idea how I will manage everything all by myself," says a hassled Gurdip.

Gurdip has hired a trouseau planner to bail her out this situation. "Most of the shopping, be it my jewellery or wedding outfit, has been taken care of by my mother. That apart, I've a friend who is taking care of the rest." Gurdisp says that she instructed him to pick up her hand bags, shoes, cosmetic and even clothes - both indian and western. The budget allotted is around Rs 5 lakhs. Her trousseau will be picked up from places like London, Bangkok, Mumbai and Delhi. The Indian wear has to have a Punjabi touch to it. "Arjun has made that very clear that I have to look like a typical Panju bride," she blushes. Gurdip's in-laws are also trying their best to help her out. "My mother-in-law is in London and is helping him pick up the best for me." She says that lack of time is keeping her away from enjoying the feeling of shopping for the Big Day. "But I guess its a choice that both of us have made and I better not crib about it," she says.
