Raima Sen to go sari-real this Puja

Here���s a sneak peek into Raima Sen���s Puja wardrobe
Grey skies are yet to clear up, but celebration is already in the air. Why not? Durga Puja is knocking on the door. As bamboo structures are turned into pandals and artisans breathe life into clay idols, getting into the Puja mode are our Tolly busybees. With less than 50 days to go for the Pujas, Tollywood beauties are gearing up to look their best.We begin our Date with Devis series by taking a peek into Raima Sen���s wardrobe.
���Right after Mahalaya, I stack aside my western clothes. It���s time to go Indian. For me, the countdown for DurgaPuja starts from Mahalaya as I begin wearing new clothes from that day. Till now, I count the number of dresses and shoes I get for the Puja,��� smiles Raima.
During the festive season, she is all for the whole six yards. ���Mummy (Moon Moon Sen) has bought me lovely saris. My puja shopping is on the verge of completion thanks to her. For Indian clothes, I depend a lot on her taste. I���ve also also got few neon-colouredkurtas stitched. When I go for pandal inaugurations, I���ll match them with exquisite dupattas,��� she gushes. In keeping with the latest trend, Raima has also bought a half sari in blue and yellow. ���There are some newcholis and embroidered designer blouses, which I plan to wear with mummy���s solid-colouredchiffons when I go for pandal-hopping late at night. This Puja, I will flaunt bangles and jhumkas, which I bought from Mumbai. All that I���m left to buy are some redbindis to go with the saris,��� she quips. Add to it her signature smile and Raima���s good to go.

Saptami special? An orange sari. ���Orange is my favecolour when it comes to clothes. So, mummy got me this sari which I will wear on Saptami evening, when I head for the family dinner.��� And boy, will she turn heads!

White is her all-time fave colour. And there���s no missing it this Puja. ���I am dying to wear this Anarkali. Don���t miss my nose stud!��� says the gal

For that striking Sashti look, Raima is set to team a bright yellow south cotton sari with kohl eyes, nude lips and a bindi. ���Do you like my bangles? I am sure they will go well with Indian outfits. On Sasthi, I plan to wear loads of them,��� she says

���This dupatta is a gift and it is too long and heavy to go with a salwar-kameez. But I love its colour and the intricate work. What do I make out of it? A kurta?��� asks Raima. Answers, anyone?

She is known for her shoe fetish. And on her trip to London, she picked up quite a bagful! ���Don���t you think the colours are rich and vibrant?��� she smiles, flaunting her peep toes
