We ask the celebrity couple how they go about getting their shopping done and who’s in charge of all the purchases.

Do you like shopping? The answer may depend upon the reader who is reading this article at the moment: whether you are man or a woman. Everyone knows, of course, that (most) women love to shop. But, with men, it seems like they reluctantly tend to shop, that too if they are left with no other option, except than shopping for electronic goodies, cars and bikes.With this I’ve learned that there is a massive difference between men and women when it comes to shopping. From our shopping taste to our spending habits, it is clear that we may just be from different planets.

Have you ever gone shopping with your significant other? If yes! I may not be wrong to say that you have had an argument over shopping. Well, many couple shopping trips ends in arguments, with men becoming frustrated because they shop what they need straight away where as their partner takes quite a long time to buy even toothpaste.

We asked a celebrity couple if they like shopping and many more about their shopping habits. Let us find out what they have to say.

One of the most prominent and popular Nepali singers, songwriters and composers; Nabin K. Bhattarai is no new name in the Nepali music industry as he has been in this industry for more than two decades. He instantly became a household name in Nepal with his first released song AankhamaTimilai from the album RaharaiRaharma.

This eminent musician got hitched in the year 2010 with an ‘a’ added to his name and that is Nabina. They have been happily married for more than six years now and are blessed with a baby boy.

Read on more to know about this couple’s shopping habits and many others.

Between you two who is more of a shopping person and why?

Nabin: Oh! Nabina for sure. Girls like shopping. I never go for shopping. If I have to than you would rather find me sitting outside the shop while she is shopping inside. But again differing to what I said, when I am abroad I do go for shopping as Nabina, Slok (their baby boy) and even my parents may expect something or the other from there, so to make them happy and bring a smile on their face I shop for them. But except than that I am not much of shopping person.

Have you ever helped your spouse in shopping?

Nabin: No! I have never helped her in shopping. I get happy with whatever is bought by Nabina. You might not believe this but the truth is, even my guitar strings are bought by Nabina. I am quite lazy when it comes to shopping. I guess most of the males are like that.

Do you two ever go out for shopping together?

Nabin:We do not go out for a shopping but we go out to eat.

Nabina:Sometimes we do go shopping for Slokto buy him books and toys. But it just limits to Bhatbhateni and Toy Store.

Do you miss his presence while shopping?

Nabina: Not actually. During the initial years of our marriage I asked him twice or thrice but when I came to know that he does not enjoy it much I did not force him.I am used to it by this time. Since I know that he does not enjoy shopping, I go with my friends or my son to shop.

Are you or researcher or impromptu shopper?

Nabin: She is a researcher (pointing at his wife). As I am not much into shopping I am not a researcher for sure but while passing by a shop, if I like something I get that.

To which Nabina adds; “If he sees something and likes it he will not buy that too by himself. He will come to me, provide me with all the details of the store and ask me to get that thing.” (Both of them laugh out loud)

Do you both have same shopping taste?

Nabin:Yes! We actually have a same shopping taste. I happily wear whatever is bought by her. Before any of my programsNabina gets me a T-shirt or shirt and I like it very much.

Nabina: I do wear the clothes bought by him but I am not sure if we have same shopping taste (Laughs). Being a guy, he gets confused with the size which does not fit in well on me so sometimes I am not that gratified.

5 must shop items for winter.

Nabin:Sweater, warm socks, thick jumper, Vicks and blanket.

Nabina:There are many to name but long coat, woolen cap, warm gloves, scarf and boots are the must.
