And our very own Bollywood stars are no different. They may rock the red carpet in the best of best clothes designed by renowned fashion designers, but when it comes to their mom’s very own personal collection, these starlets will totally vouch for the good old English rhyme: Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue…
Few days ago, actor Mrunal Thakur shared a photo on her Instagram stories which featured her and her mother Vandana Thakur wearing a black sari with a rani pink pallu. Below the collage, the Jersey-actor wrote: Isn’t this the best thing in the world to be able to wear your moms saree and jewellery. I’m in love with my moms wedding saree (Shalu) I think I may end up wearing the same for my wedding. (sic).
And yes, mother knows best when it comes to saris. Six yards of sheer elegance, you can never go wrong with a sari. And giving #sarigoals to her followers was Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta’s daughter, Ira Khan. The star kid raided her mother’s wardrobe and picked a comfortable yet chic grey printed sari to sport on a fine Sunday. Giving her followers a glimpse of what she chose, Ira posed in the neatly draped sari paired with black bralette and completed the look with funky earrings, white boots, and an olive green handbag. She took to Instagram and wrote: Saree Sunday! I love sarees. So I’ve decided I’m going to wear a saree every Sunday. For a few hours. I don’t own that many so I’m going to raid various people’s closets that way I don’t even need place in my closet for them. This is mom’s. From Calcutta. We think. Yes, I wore boots with my saree.
