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
1.5
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!
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."
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.
