__+//Preity Zinta's most expensive buy
Sukanya Verma September 06, 2004

Preity Zinta loves to shop.

Bollywood's hottest heroine says she can spend "like crazy" when something catches her fancy. She does not, however, have a label fetish when it comes to picking up something she likes.

As far as fashion is concerned, this is what Preity has to say:

My favourite Indian designer: I really like Manish Malhotra's stuff.

Designers I dig abroad: I like Valentino and Roberto Cavalli. I like Calvin Klein. He has very straight-lined stuff.

Most of my shopping happens: Abroad. There are very few times I shop here mainly because, here, you are usually on outdoors [an outdoor shoot] or [in the] studios. Where do you have the time to shop? Usually, when you are on a holiday, you shop.

I even shopped at Shoppers' Stop once: I needed salwar-kameezes for a dance rehearsal. You can't wear track bottoms and do Indian dance. [Since] I had given all my old salwar-kameezes [away, I needed to buy new ones]. I just randomly shop.

I am not a label person: Whatever I like anywhere, I pick it up.

Fashion to me means: Whatever I feel comfortable in. I like to mix and match. I'll buy something from the street. I'll buy something from a fashion house.

Most expensive buy/bite: I had to attend this party instantly and I didn't have shoes. So I went and bought a pair of shoes worth 1,200 Euro [approximately Rs 67,405]. And let me show you [shows her leg which has two painful-looking shoe bite marks]… it has this bee-like thing across and it dug into my skin and gave me two little lines. And now I have got marks. I look at those shoes and go 'This is the most expensive bite of my life' [laughs].

Preity Zinta: On health, fitness and style…

What’s the kind of work-out regime you follow?
“I believe working out is very important, as essential as your food supplements and diet. I’m a very sporty person, I love playing outdoor games, so for me that often serves as a work-out. Nowadays I have been gyming regularly - maybe not every day, but I’m pretty sincere about it. At least when I’m not traveling, I make sure my body gets its quota of exercise.”

Do you follow a strict diet routine?
“When I’m in India...I eat, I eat and I eat. My morning often begins with parathas. That’s why shoots abroad are better for me. In India, my health regime goes for a toss. I don’t follow such a strict health regime, but I like to finish my dinner by 8; early dinners are better for health. I eat less fried stuff and lots of fresh greens.”

The secret of your glowing skin?
“Lot of water, other juices and lot of sleep, too. No compensation for peaceful hours of sleep.”

What’s your style mantra?
“Wear a smile - nothing looks better than that!”
