What's In Peecee's Bag?

During a "What's in My Bag" video interview with Vogue India published in April 2026. She said, “In India, we wear black. This is a nazar battu (evil eye) which is like an evil eye bracelet. You wear a little black thread. In India, we believe that it keeps away the evil away. I just like wearing them together. The more you can do to protect yourself… Why not?"

Holding up, her Hanuman Chalisa, she said, “This is my Hanuman Chalisa, which is a prayer to Lord Hanuman. You’re supposed to say it every day. I don’t do it everyday, but I try as much as I can. But I also feel like it protects me in all my travels."

Health First!

“I developed allergies this year. This is a new addition in my bag, but a crucial one. I can’t tell you what I am allergic to, because then literally everyone will know how to kill me! I don’t want that. There’s also my inhaler, because I have asthma," she said.
