When it comes to her favourite novel, fashion designer Ritu Beri is known to be a rather moody reader with her moods dictating what genre of book she will actually read.

“My most desired book amongst the ones I have read is Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead and I bought it when I was 16 years old,” says the super-stylish designer. “The reason it ranks on my list of favourite books is because I can read it again and again and never tire of it. I have read it almost 50 times till date,” confesses Ritu.

Which film counts among her favourites? What film she watches depends entirely upon her mood again. However, she can’t ever say no to Sweet November no matter what her mood may be like. “I love the scene when the actress Charlize Theron talks about life.

The movie has truly inspired me as I adore the normal narrative which the film follows,” says Ritu, adding, “The very first time I went to a theatre was in London accompanied by my parents when I was just a little girl of six years,” she ends.
