There's a flurry of excitement in the private chambers of a luxury hotel in Mumbai, where a select few are invited for a one-on-one with this international beauty. After several false announcements, the statuesque lady appears, dressed in a glittering powder blue co-ord set quite the contrast to the red ghagra she had donned for a meet-and-greet earlier in the day.

At first glance, Paris Hilton resembles a Barbie doll. Tall and svelte, with flawless skin minimally made up, her blue eyes radiating warmth. Paris belies her age (she's 41!) and displays remarkable grace with all gathered starstruck around her, no hint of impatience despite being strapped for time during her whirlwind trip to India.

"This is my seventh trip to India, and it's so wonderful to be back! Everything looks so beautiful tonight, and I'm happy to be here, dressed in Indian clothes," she tells the crowd, soft spoken and gentle, ahead of the launch of her perfume brand, Ruby Rush.

Following the formalities of the launch, Paris gets candid with HELLO! for a quick tête-à-tête on her brands, love for fragrances and setting Y2K fashion trends both on and off the runway.
