She took the television world by storm when she debuted as Shanti in the eponymous, popular soap opera in 1994. Since then Mandira Bedi has had a successful stint as an actor, model, anchor and now a fashion designer. But over the years, apart from showcasing her talent in the aforementioned fields, the 42-year-old has also been noticed for her fashion sensibilities. Remember the noodle-strap blouses that became a rage when she hosted the Cricket World Cup in 2003? Or the pixie haircut she started sporting in 2009? It all became a style statement. But what’s her personal style?
