"I regret that I am not able to visit Mangalore as often as I would like to.

I am very religious and a strong beliver in God, Daivas and Naga, in fact I am a full-on Bunt. I will be visiting Kateel and Dharmastala after this programme," she said.

Speaking on the occasion, Balram Garg of PC Jewellers said the Mangalore launch was an important landmark as it marks its foray into south India. "We look forward to a positive response from the customers and are confident that our collections will be liked by them," he added.
