True story: Having done 25 shows, I took my first pay check and spoilt myself by buying a Cartier watch that I bought in Muscat while travelling. I can proudly say that I was all of 16 years old. Some years later it was stolen. My husband replaced it with a beautiful, feminine, slick and dainty one - the hallmark of Cartier.

Masculine qualitiy: My husband always complains that I am the man of the house. I guess that is my masculine side.

Destiny: In this age, we are all masters of our own destinies. Today, people are not handicapped by anything.

Watch me: I like chunky watches, not studded with diamonds or anything like that. For daily wear, I like a watch to look more manly, more understated. Cartier is like that.

Formula for success: Be happy with whatever you are doing. When I was working, I was happy with that. Today, it is my family. My motto for success is to enjoy what you are doing.
