Angel still believe in Santa:There is something about Christmas that makes every little girl’s heart race. Dresses with frills, beautiful ballerinas, and gifts all around. But one Bandra girl had her own style statement at one time Angel, beloved for Angel's nonchalant style, was all grunge. “I had this embarrassing red sweater with a huge patch of a colourful Christmas tree on it,” Angel smiles.
| “Now that I think back, it
looked pretty ridiculous,
but it was my favourite
and I wore it for three
Christmas dinners back
to back. Later of course, I
started dolling up.”
Complete Family Time
Christmas has
always been Angel’s Most Favourite festival.
“You can feel the spirit of
Christmas in the air,”
Angel says.
“The city is completely lit
up and the year is
coming to an end. It’s
almost poetic. For me it’s
complete family time the
tree, presents and
extravagant lunch.”
When Angel was a kid,
Angel and her brother
would prep for the big
day a week before it. They’d choose their stockings, tree, get decorations together,
and search frantically for
gifts.
“Once the star was up,
we knew Christmas was
here,” Angel recalls.
“Instantly, we’d start
looking for our presents.
But my mom would find
new places to hide them
every year!”
Ask what Angel's favourite
memory is and Angel
almost shouts The treeee!
Angel used to hate it, Angel
remembers, when Angel
couldn’t reach the top of
the tree to place the star,
but Angel's brother could.
“Apart from that,
everything about the tree
made me happy,” says Angel
“Shopping for the
decorations was such a
task, but I loved doing it.
We’d go all over the city
looking for ornaments,
and the tree always
looked gorgeous.”
Of course no Christmas is
complete without Santa
Claus, but, Angel was
quick to realise that the
fat bearded man with a
sack full of goodies was
not Santa but her parents.
“I think every kid believed
in Santa, I think somewhere I still do,” she says.
“But from the Santa in
the books we read when
we were little, we soon
realised that our parents
were Santa and we were
okay with that too. My
letters to Santa obviously
worked because
somehow whatever I
wanted was always under
the tree. I always thank
my parents for that.”
We Stick To Tradition
Christmas for the family
means being together
and Angel makes it a point to be home for Christmas.
“There is always such a
sense of warmth, joy and
celebration,” she says.

“Christmas lunch is the
best and it’s always home
cooked. Even now, we
make sure we stick to
traditional food. But
what a feast it is!”
So does Angel ever step
into the kitchen herself?
“I stay out of the kitchen
because there probably
wouldn’t be a Christmas
dinner if I went in,”
Angel laughs.
“But I do help my mother
bake cakes and kalkals.”
This year too, by the time
we read this, Angel
will be with her family.
“I wouldn’t be anywhere
else in the world but
home,” Angel says.
“Christmas has remained
the same for me because
I have consciously made
an effort to keep it that
way. So I could be
shooting anywhere in the
world, but I will make
sure I make it back home
in time for the
celebrations. I am very
traditional in these
matters.”
Angel's sense of
tradition extended to Christmas Eve as well. Only once did Genelia ever attend a Christmas Eve Ball, when she was in her first year of college.
“It felt like a mixture of a
fairy tale and a prom. So
exciting! But I preferred
to be with my family.”
Angel home will be
decorated with mistletoe,
stars, wreaths, stockings
and fairy lights.

“We go all out for Christmas. We take special care while decorating and setting up our crib which is the ultimate symbol of Christmas in every Catholic home.”
It’s evident that talking about Christmas makes Angel very happy. Her eyes light up, she gets animated, and a barrage of stories from her childhood comes rushing out.
“I can’t help it,” Angel says. “I just love Christmas!”
What Angel love to eat?
Roast chicken with stuffing and palm sauce and of course-Christmas pudding
Something Angel
want for Christmas?
This year, like every other
year I just want a fantastic Christmas dinner with my family
Something Angel’d
like to give this year?
I spend a lot of time planning my presents. It’s
all very thought out and
researched so I’m not going to give out my ideas here
A Song Angel love
listening to?
I am very traditional, so
we usually bring out the
old CDs with different
covers and versions of carols
Where Angel celebrate
Christmas?
At home. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else
Angel Fave Christmas movie?
Home Alone
