Mahima has a ring on her left hand ring finger. Stare at it for too long and she relpies without question, "No it is not a engagement ring."

She says with a huge smile, "And anyways, in India it is not a compulsion to think that people wearing rings in the left hand are engaged or married. It is more of a western custom. We Indians believe in sindoor and mangalsutra right?" she lets the question hang provocatively. Her explanation for wearing the ring is that her right ring finger has become thin. The actress also believes in changing rings and fingers for variety.

Ask her about Leander and she feels coy. "You will be surprised that I am shy, though I don`t look the types."
