Tellybuzz brings to you a new Monday column on the 'Confessions of a Tellywood Shopaholic.' This week we tried to unravel the shopping interests of Manish Raisinghani who is playing the role of Siddharth in Colors' popular show Sasural Simar Ka.

Let's try to find out more about the shopping interests of Manish.

Share your craze for shopping with us.

Not sure if I'm a shopaholic but I'm a spendthrift for sure.

How often do you go to shop?

The day I have an off is the "blowing up money" day according to my dad. I usually shop for gifts for the special people in my life. I love gifting and surprising others, so that is what most of my shopping is all about.

What do you shop the most for?

I am the laziest when it comes to shopping for myself.

Your dream shopping destination?

Never really traveled to shop specifically. However, Bangkok and London are fun places for shopping.

Where do you prefer to shop in Mumbai?

Anywhere and everywhere! I am not a brand freak; I pick what I like visually and is comfortable to wear.
In Mumbai its Palladium and now we have Infinity 2 in the suburbs which makes shopping a lot of fun!

What would you buy?

If given Rs. 10: Chocolate.
If given Rs. 100: Chocolates.
If given Rs. 1000: Lots of chocolates (laughs).

If given Rs. 1 Lakh: Hmm... I can't buy chocolates of that amount my dad will kill me. So may be a holiday for my parents or a gadget for them or myself!

If given Rs. 1 Crore: Definitely a property!

Share how you feel after shopping?

I am as excited as a kid after I shop! If it's a gift then I get restless to present it in the most pleasant way or if possible as surprise the person in a way that he or she skips a heartbeat. If it is for myself I can't wait to put it to use!
