Radhika Merchant wore an embroidered red sharara set for her first Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations as a married woman. Her ensemble features heavy gold embroidery done all over. While the sleeveless kurta has a short hem length, side slits, a fitted silhouette, and a backless design with crisscross dori ties, the sharara pants feature a flared silhouette and a floor-grazing hem length.
Radhika paired the ensemble with a matching red net dupatta decked with embroidered borders and gota work. She draped it over her shoulders. Lastly, gold jhumkis and a mangalsutra rounded off the accessories. A no-makeup look, darkened brows, and hair secured in a ponytail gave the finishing touch.
