'Ash and I share fashion quotients'

Actor Abhishek Bachchan's elder sister Shweta Nanda says she and Aishwarya like light, subdued colours in Indian wear.

Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan's elder sister Shweta Nanda says she and her sister-in-law Aishwarya have similar tastes in fashion and style.

“Aishwarya and I have a pretty much same choice of dressing. We like light, subdued colours in Indian wear and yes, I do think we have similar aesthetics as well,” Shweta told IANS.

Seldom it is, however, that Shweta gets opportunity to go shopping with Aishwarya. “Aishwarya has a busy schedule and work takes up most of her time. Besides, I stay in Delhi,” she said.

Asked whether she has received any cherished gift from Aishwarya yet, she said: “The fact that she loves my brother and takes care of him is a big gift for me.”

She spoke while admiring an exhibition by Crystallized - Swarovski Elements here Tuesday. Shweta was at the event for friend Abu Jani of designer duo Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla, who design Indian wear for the Bachchan family.

Dressed in an off white Indian suit with small silver motifs on it and a light green border, Shweta played minimalist sans jewellery and with light make-up.

Shweta, who is a mother of two - daughter Navya Naveli and son Agastya - is married to industrialist Nikhil Nanda and says she is occupied with her children's exams right now.
