Excuse moi while I check this sandesha on my kaaliberry. It’s my khabru from Kutch, insisting I hear this tiddy-bitty on Amrita Rao.

She had gone there to show her support for the Sarvoyada Bidada Village Camp recently. Seems the Maharaja of Kutch was so pleased to hear about her compassionate interactions with the patients that he invited her over.

So Amri went over to the majestic Vijay Vilas Palace for tea with the King and his family. Later on, the Maharaja also showed her around the palace and briefed her about the family history.

Predictably, the petite Ms Rao was no less thrilled by her visit that she promised to meet them again soon.

Amrita Rao may be identified by her innocent face, but she is famous for her bold photo shoots. And there's a reason the camera likes her.

In her last release Short Kut, she looked absolutely stunning. Whether she wears desi clothes or foreign, she always looks hot. She has nice hair, lips, eyes - and all-in-one compact package - and many girls adore her. To know her beauty secrets, we asked Amrita what were the five beauty essentials we would find in her bag.

Perfume:- I just can't go out without perfumes. Chanel No. 5 and Coco Chanel are my favorites.

Brush:-Everyone carries one, don't they? So do I.

Kajal:- As I have said, I am not a make-up freak, but I apply kajal because I like it (and many say it looks good on my eyes).
