While promoting her movie Retro, the actress dug into her grandmother’s collection and found a 70-year-old Kanjivaram sari, saying, "It took me back to the images of my beautiful Ajji (grandma) in her kanjivarams going about her day, the fresh smell of mallige in the house before getting ready to go for a wedding and the aromas of the wet mangalore mud after the first rains…Oh, the beauty in the simplest things (sic)."
So take a cue from the actress and give Kanjivaram (or any handloom) sari a chance this wedding season.
