It was during the shooting of her Telugu film Athidhi in Hyderabad that Amrita wanted to go to Char Minaar and also shop in the famous Choori Bazaar.
Thinking that she will go unrecognised if she wore huge sun glasses and tied her hair back in pony, Amrita went to Char Minar with some friends. As soon as she got off the car, people recoginesd her and started mobbing her. She had to return without getting the chance to buy anything. That is when somebody came with the idea of using a burqa and Amrita went out once again. "I had such a great time. I climbed up on Char Minar, rubbed shoulder with everybody in the crowd, went to the Choori Bazaar and really shopped for so many bangles."
"They have lovely bangles and they are so different. I even went to shop for stone studded jewellery. It was fun talking to people without getting recognised and being myself again," laughs Amrita.
