For me, style means being comfortable. But I'm not a jeans and tee girl as find it very difficult to get the right fit. I'm more of a Capri or shorts girl. I can really dress down for a party. I did that for Gauri Pradhan's birthday bash. My hubby Manav Gohil and I were rehearsing for Nach Baliye 2, and then we decided to head home after that, dress quickly and go to the party. I was rehearsing in pyjamas and a tee-shirt. But we finished our rehearsal at midnight, and it was just too ambitious to go home and dress after that. As Gauri was hosting a mix-n-match party, we got creative. Manav wore his jeans inside out and I wore a skirt on top of my pyjamas. We showed up like tramps! Wardrobe must-haves: I like black as it makes me look thin. Every wardrobe must have a black trouser, a well-stitched formal shirt and a kurti. One must have comfortable clothes. If you wear figure-hugging stuff to look sexy, someone may just point out that you've put on weight!Tips: This is my mum's homemade recipe for a face mask. I use a paste of besan (chickpea flour), honey, lime and curd. It has all the basics -- besan exfoliates, honey gives the face a glow and lime is a bleaching agent. So, it's an all-in-one pack.
