Saloni on a hunt for the perfect sharara

Says Rajshri, "I'm still on the look out for the perfect outfit, since I didn't buy anything from Ritu Kumar's store.

I looked at a couple of outfits but I think I'll now get one stitched rather than pick up a readymade one."

Nauvari natak!

The biggest hindrance in her attempt to get an outfit is the approaching deadline. "Everyone I have met is asking for more time. The minimum time it takes to stitch the outfit I want is three months. I don't have so much time on hand! I hope I find some one who can help me out."

Immensely fond of shades of reds and pinks, she says, "Red will be the colour of my sharara. Other than that, I just want the dress to fit me well."
When asked if she has approached any designers, she says, "Not yet, but I will start getting in touch with them soon."

Planned in typical Maharashtrian style, Rajshri wants to wear the traditional nine-yard (nauvari) sari at the main wedding ceremony. "It isn't easy to wear or carry off, but I would love to try it. It will be a simple ceremony with all the customs and rituals."

Work wise

After taking home not one, but two Best Actor trophies in popular categories at two awards ceremonies last weekend, Rajshri couldn't sleep after going home. "It was the most incredible and unbelievable feeling. I never imagined I'd win any awards, even though I know the show and my character are very popular," she says.

Giving credit to her unit, Thakur even took sweets and her two trophies to the Saath Phere set. "Everyone, from the technicians to my co-stars, is equally responsible for the win so why not celebrate with them?"

Still undecided about her honeymoon destination, the actress says she prefers travelling across India rather than going abroad. "I hate long-distance journeys so going abroad is out. I'd love to go to Kulu Manali, though. Let's see. We've got time to plan since we've postponed our honeymoon to March so that work doesn't suffer."
