Pooja Hegde Is A Kanjivaram Sari Girl Through And Through

When it comes to timeless Indian elegance, Pooja Hegde knows how to make a statement. The actress recently turned heads in a stunning Kanjivaram silk sari that perfectly captured her love for tradition and glamour in equal measure. With its deep purple hue and intricate gold zari work, the look was classic, confident, and unmistakably hers.

The actress recently proclaimed her love for Kanjivaram saris on Instagram recently when she shared the photos wearing the aforementioned purple Kanjivaram silk sari. The Beast actress paired it with statement jewellery that complemented the look.

One scroll down Pooja Hegde’s Instagram will reveal that the actress gravitates toward handwoven silks for weddings, festivals, and red carpet events, and it’s no surprise why. The Kanjivaram sari, with its rich texture and heritage detailing, fits seamlessly into her wardrobe of sophisticated staples. Whether it's paired with traditional temple jewellery or styled with a minimalist blouse and soft waves, she knows how to let the sari shine.

Pooja’s affinity for Kanjivaram silks feels deeply personal and refreshingly consistent. She’s been spotted in everything from jewel-toned drapes to pastel weaves, each look celebrating the versatility of the classic six-yard wonder.

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.
