With gold, for me, it's always about quality, design & then price: Parvati Nair

'
AADI
IS ALL ABOUT EXCITING OFFERS, WIDE SELECTIONS, AND GREAT DISCOUNTS'
To me, the Aadi season is more than just another time of the year — it's all about exciting offers, wide selections, and great discounts. It's a perfect mix of celebration, bonding, and a little retail therapy.
'I'M FACINATED BY DESIGNS THAT BLEND TRADITIONAL STYLES WITH PRECIOUS STONES'
I like both traditional and contemporary jewellery. When it comes to traditional pieces, I'm drawn to temple jewellery. What fascinates me now are designs that blend traditional styles with precious stones like diamonds, emeralds, rubies and pearls.
I love exploring collections that are different.
'QUALITY FIRST, DESIGN NEXT, AND THEN COMES THE PRICE'
When buying gold, quality comes first — it is the most important factor. After that, I look at design and then, price. Price matters, but if the design doesn't appeal to you or if the quality of gold isn't high, then spending any amount doesn't make sense.
'GOLD IS A GREAT ASSET FOR THE FUTURE COMPARED TO MF'
Gold is definitely a solid investment as its price keeps rising steadily. Compared to mutual fund investments, which can fluctuate based on market conditions, gold is a more secure asset.

Hema Malini recalls doing her own stunts in 'Sholay,' reveals initial disappointment with Basanti's role, and plans to show the classic to her grandchildren

As Ramesh Sippy 's 'Sholay' completed 50 years on Friday, Hema Malini looked back on her experience of playing Basanti, one of Hindi cinema's most iconic characters. Speaking to IANS, the actress revealed that during her prime years, filmmakers often wrote action sequences especially for her. 'If Hema Malini is there in the film, we must make her fight; that was the sentiment,' she laughed. In Sholay, too, she was given memorable stunt sequences, particularly the now-legendary tanga chase where Basanti bravely drives the horse cart while dacoits pursue her. 'Every scene in the film is a moving shot; nothing is static. That's why the film still feels alive after all these years,' she reflected. Wanting more from Basanti at first Interestingly, Hema admitted she wasn't thrilled when Sippy first narrated Basanti's role to her. Coming fresh off the blockbuster Seeta Aur Geeta, where she carried the film on her shoulders, she worried Basanti might be overshadowed. 'I was disappointed at first. I thought, 'Why such a small role for me when there are so many other characters?'' she recalled. It was only after Sippy assured her that Basanti's character would leave a strong emotional and cinematic impact that she agreed. Today, Basanti's witty, bold, and spirited presence is regarded as one of the most beloved parts of Sholay's timeless ensemble. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?
