“I’m offered only these kind of films. If a good commercial film will come my way, I would love to do it. As of now, I’m going back to Kolkata to shoot for another Bengali film,” she added.At the fashion show, Raima walked the ramp in a lace lehenga designed by Pria Kataria Puri.“I really loved the lehenga I was exhausting and the other gowns were equally nice,” said Raima.
