Style Diary of a Bollywood Diva- A new Imprint Sde from Penguin

Kareena Kapoor puts her pen to her own  sartorial style  with able help from Rochelle Pinto and Shobha De resulting in this new Imprint called Sde books from Penguin.  This is a first for all three women. For Shobha De it marked her own individual entry into publishing an Imprint for Penguin Books. For Rochelle Pinto, The erstwhile fashion-police columnist from Hindistan Times it was her first attempt to write a book, albeit as the voice of Kareena Kapoor. And for the Bollywood Diva Kareena Kapoor it marked her first attempt to pen her own style statement in book form. The three firsts were celebrated with champagne from Moet at the Shangri-La ballroom in an event that saw a number of paparazzi and celebrities angling for space and face in the hullabaloo of the book release. Shobha De and Rochelle Pinto were excited while Kareena was luminous in a black outfit, cinched at the waist by an 8 kilo gold belt, looking startlingly beautiful and making her vision of style clear- It's all about taking care of yourself , both body and mind!
