Actress Vidya Balan, who loves traditional Indian jewellery, says she used to wear jhumkas (a type of earring) worth Rs5 (Dh0.27) at one point of time.

The actress recalled her younger days while in Noida for an event on Wednesday.

Balan said: “I am a fan of traditional jewellery work more than modern style. For making appearances, wherever I wear mostly saris, I mostly pick jhumkas.

“I started with small jhumkas, which we got for Rs5, and by god’s grace I have now progressed ... I sometimes wear those small jhumkas parents get you made as children when I am not in the mood to dress up much.”

She was in Noida to inaugurate a jewellery showroom.

“We are increasing our footprints pan-India keeping the growing demands of our customers in mind. These are our first showrooms in Noida and Gurgaon, and we had tried keeping different collections from all our categories to cater to the market demands,” said Sankar Sen, Managing Director at Senco Gold and Diamonds.
