"It's a week-long birthday party and I’m trying to play down my outfits," says Nisha JamVal, who along with husband, Tata head honcho Jammy JamVal is flying to England this week to attend the golden anniversary celebrations of Jeffrey Archer, best selling author and former politician, and his wife Mary Archer.

The colourful Archer has been a long time friend of the couple’s and has even penned a story about their real-life romance. The ‘playing down of outfits’ is because of the Indian habit of OTT dressing, according to Nisha. “It’s a very English guest list and a summer event and though I’m packing three gowns, I keep having to remind myself to pare things down,” she says.
