While diamonds are a woman's best friend designer bags don't come too
far down the list and certainly not when they are gifted by your
boyfriend! Naturally, when John Abraham gifted Bipasha Basu a $3250
(Rs 15 lakh) brown-and-gold Gucci Babouska Medium Boston, she was
thrilled especially when that was what she had set her heart on. And
guess who else uses a Gucci Babouska Medium Boston bag? Bipasha's
style icon pop singer Rihanna!

Observant boyfriend

Bipasha, who got back from a 10-day holiday in USA with John to walk
the ramp for Maheka Mirpuri says, "When I went to Philadelphia (John
was shooting for Kabir Khan's New York) and then New York with him, I
would covet the Babouska every time I would walk into a store. But
ever since I started renovating my Bandra flat, I save every rupee as
I want to spend it judiciously on furnishings and decorations. I don't
splurge on other things but focus on home. I think John saw me looking
longingly at the bag and one day he just went and bought it for me! I
was thrilled! It's a very exciting gift and something I really
wanted."

Old-world look

Talking about her ramp walk as showstopper for designer Maheka Mirpuri
Bipasha says, "This time I went in for a more old-worldly look with my
hair tied back and thanks to my team of stylists, Anil Chinappa and
Madhuri Nakhle, I could pull it off stylishly. I wore a ghaghra-choli
for Maheka."

Bipasha's next release is Sanjay Gupta's Pankh directed by Sudipto Chatterjee.
