Did you know? Ali Zafar creates his own perfume!

We all are familiar with the concept of ‘do it yourself’ prevalent in various retail stores around the world. Stores worldwide offer activities like ‘making your own soap’, making pottery, ‘building a bear’, and ah, of course making your own perfume!

Pakistani singer and Bollywood actor Ali Zafar was in France this month to celebrate the Cannes Film Festival. During the festivities, the star took some time off to celebrate his birthday on May 18. Now most of us, if given a chance to celebrate our birthday in a beautiful city like Monte Carlo, would normally spend the day with family or perhaps just experience the city as it is.

But for Ali Zafar, who made his movie debut with Tere Bin Laden, followed by Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, celebrating birthdays mean spending time creating a personalised scent! Ali visited Grasse, the perfume capital of France which has perfume factories all over. After SRK and Lady Gaga perfume, who knows, we may see Ali launch his own fragrance?
