We received a fabulous response," she says.
She stresses that her designing passion hasn't taken a backseat with her frequent commitments to dance ballets,u00a0 "On the contrary, I am all set to finally open my own fashion store in Mumbai on April 18 in the suburbs.

She has also designed clothes for her home-production Tell Me O Khuda, "Not the entire movie. Just a few of them, and also for my sister Esha.
