John Abraham Gifts Girlfriend Bipasha Basu a Gucci Handbag

A Babouska for Bips... while holidaying in the USA

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 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!

Observant boyfriend
Bipasha, who got back from a 10-day holiday in the USA with John, to walk the ramp for Maheka Mirpuri says, "When I went to Philadelphia and then New York (John was shooting for Kabir Khan's New York) with him, I would covet the Babouska every time I'd 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."

Old-world look
Talking about her ramp walk as showstopper for designer Maheka Mirpuri, the actress 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."Bipasha's next release is Sanjay Gupta's Pankh directed by Sudipto Chatterjee.
