Mandira Bedi has again proved her versatility. Last month, two Mandira Bedis smiled down from magazine stalls. Depending on your fetish, you could either go for the demure, sari-clad Bedi, beaming proudly about her house, or else you could go for the more popular version- the bikini clad Bedi, frolicking on wet grass on the cover of Maxim. No prizes for guessing which one was sold out.

Mention it to her and Bedi springs up with glee. “I wanted someone to notice that! For ‘Better Homes and Gardens’, I was showing off my house, which I did from scratch. And ‘Maxim’ is a boy’s magazine. Someone look at it for it’s versatility, for God’s sake.”
