Siddharth Kannan's fetish for wrist watches

Wednesday, September 05, 2007

It was recently learnt that radio jockey-turned-television anchor Siddharth Kannan aka Santa of "Santa&Banta Unlimited" on Zoom, has a fetish for wrist watches. He owns a range of brands, the count touching 49, shopped from across the globe. Apparently, he just can't resist himself when he spots a good watch in a shop.

On the flip side, some of the watches go as fast as they come. Siddharth recently lost three designer watches worth Rs 5 lakhs while shooting for a show. "Yeah, I feel terrible on losing those three watches, especially because one of them was gifted to me by my mom. Some one lifted it," says the talk show host. However, Siddharth didn't make an issue out of it on the sets. After all, the watches were his responsibility, believes the modest Siddharth.

The incident, however, will not tie down his fetish for the luxury item. So, watch out for this chap next time he is at work or at party.
