Actress Shazahn Padamsee finds it tough to keep in check her temptation of shopping online.
She revealed that she shops online almost every day.
"I have this addiction and it's really bad. I get really scared to open my laptop because I have all these websites waiting to attack me. So, I have a serious addiction," Shazahn said here on the sidelines of an event.
Shazahn, who has featured in movies like "Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year" and "Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji", hasn't been seen in films of late. But she says it's not too long before she will be seen on the big screen again.
"Right now, I have two films which are upcoming and a little bit delayed. So I hope that they release soon. One is 'Solid Patels' and one is 'Siddhartha', which is with Mahesh Bhatt."

Singer Aamir Shaikh not after reality TV shows
Singer Aamir Shaikh, who has released his single "Astaghfirullah Rabbi - Kyun juda hai mujhse", says reality TV shows don't excite him.
The singer told IANS: "Everybody has their own choice. I never thought about reality shows. Rather I would say I never desired to do them."
Talking about his latest song, he said: "I'm more confident after getting acclaim for my latest song 'Astaghfirullah Rabbi'. Legendary composer like Pyarelalji, Himesh Reshammiya ji, Sajid-Wajid have praised my singing and now I am assured that I am on right path."
Aamir believes in originality, and doesn't like to follow anyone's style.
"I do not follow anyone. I believe in originality," he said, and added that he will launch an album too in the near future.

Manasi Scott enjoyed playing villain in 'Bhaag Johnny'
Actress-singer Manasi Scott says she thoroughly enjoyed playing the role of a villain in "Bhaag Johnny".
"I usually just sing on the stage. But I enjoyed playing the role of a villain extremely," Manasi said here. "I hope that a certain stereotype gets broken... that there are villains, heroes, heroines and that we be looked at just as actors."
"And I hope that more glamorous actors start doing negative roles. I hope it's all about acting and not about whether you're a heroine or a villain."
Manasi, who is also a radio jockey, has featured in films "Jhootha Hi Sahi" and "Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu".
"Bhaag Johnny", directed by Shivamm Nair, released on Friday.
