Celebs talk about shopping for that one item that made a major difference in their lives
It sounds mundane, but then even the most mundane, ordinary thing can sometimes become an extraordinary tale that piques your interest because it’s so random. That’s why we decided to quiz celebs from different fields about that one online purchase that has changed their life. Here’s what they had to say...
Vicky Ratnani
Chef
I purchased a vacuum sealer online that has really changed my life. Since it increases the shelf life of food it has led to zero wastage in my kitchen.
Kunal Vijaykar
Television personality
I purchased Toppik, which is essentially referred to as hair-building fibres, which is amazing. I got three bottles that I hope will last for the next three years. It’s like a black thin powder that you sprinkle on a bald patch on your head and it covers it completely. It’s not messy and an excess amount can easily be wiped or dusted off.
Rakhee Vaswani
Chef
I do pick up a lot of food-related magazines and books online. For me, that’s life changing as it’s my area of interest, and considering paper can wear out after a point, it’s nice to have recipes and information and tips in the digital format, which can be accessed anytime.
Mikey McCleary
Musician
My wife is a nervous flyer so I ordered a pair of Bose noise-cancelling headphones online, which completely cuts out the airplane noise outside. Now, when we fly, she is much calmer and therefore, I enjoy the flight much more.
Aditya Hitkari
Theatre personality
Ten years ago, my wife Divya and I started putting our house together. It took us 17 months just to decide the first lighting fixtures, sofas and dining table. Ten years later, when we decided to change everything, we knew we couldn’t do a 17-month thing again! We have such busy schedules now, so we ordered all the furniture online and it was life-changing. From furniture to pillow casings to cushions and lighting fixtures, we brought everything online. And this time, we did it within a week!
Meiyang Chang
Singer
I’ve bought all kinds of things online. The one thing I have ordered the maximum are books. I believe it has really changed my life. Unlike audio-visual mediums, books make you imagine and fires the creative craziness you might have inside you. I used to read comics as a kid, and I still order them online. It’s changed me because this fantasy world, wizards, etc was always inside me but somewhere it got hidden away. I would have been another boring working professional. This has kept the creative child in me alive. It opens your mind, just like travelling does. It might be very cliched, but a very important purchase I do online.
