Kriti Kharbanda, of Teen Maar fame, attracted many when she arrived here to formally inaugurate a boutique ‘Dheksha' in Gayatri Nagar on Thursday.

Bowled over by the variety of designer sarees, she went round the store selecting a few to try them out on her. A few of the varieties she picked up were kanchi, arani, uppada silk sarees, in both designer and fancy types and posed for pictures in front of a large brigade of photographers from the media.

When asked about her future films, she said that a yet-to-be-named upcoming film was with actor Manchu Manoj. She liked the name of the shop as it was different from the routine and appreciated the owner for the selection of a unique name.

She also appreciated the collection of sarees and hoped that it would attract customers of all ages. Shop owner Telaprolu Vamsi was present on the occasion. Vijayawada, with a number of saree showrooms, was a virgin market for designer products, he added.
