Today, while strolling for an evening walk, I stop by the Costa Coffee inside Mega Mall (Andheri West, Bombay) to have a Latte. Saw Shefali Zariwala and singer Sunidhi Chauhan having coffee besides me, so decided to take a shot of them.

Well, it is considered rather un-cool to approach celebrities here in Bombay as they are scattered everywhere (unless of course they are some of the A-list celebrities). So, I’d approach for shots only when the celebrities are sitting next to me, waiting for a movie together or rather in a not-so-crowded place.

She said in an interview, “There are way too many amazing faux fur options out there for people to still be wearing real fur.”
