New Delhi, May 31 -- As fashion circus, Sex And The City 2, completes a week in the US, HT City checked on which celebrities could rival lead character Carrie Bradshaw's shoe addiction. Turns out, actress Celina Jaitly beats the competition with 1,300 pairs of shoes and still counting.

A self-confessed shoe junkie, actress Celina Jaitly recently tweeted that her shoe collection had grown to 1,300. Eat that, Carrie! "I have a shoe fetish, I'm addicted to buying them," she reveals.

Jaitly had an enviable shoe collection even as a teenager. "As a teenager, I had about 90 pairs of shoes. I'd ask my father not to waste money buying me clothes." The first apartment she bought was quickly converted into a heel haven. "The first thing I did was fill one entire room with shelves for my shoes," she says, adding sheepishly, "Though I have about 1,300 pairs, I only wear about eight pairs often"

Nowhere near Jaitly's record, but actress Lara Dutta sure is a shoe junkie. Her 400 pairs of heels include brands like Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo and Dutta confesses to being a 'heels girl'.

Priyanka Chopra, who owns 80 pairs of shoes is the only Indian actress to have a Salvatore Ferragamo shoe made in her honour. Fashion icon Malaika Arora Khan owns 150 heels. Ask her what her favourites are and she gushes, "I love them all."

While Deepika Padukone admits she owns a closet full of shoes, she's not too big on numbers. "I've never counted them and I never will," said Deepika. About her shoe-full closet Kareena Kapoor says being a "shoe lady" is more elegant than being a "bag lady".
