All about Kriti Sanon's custom Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla saree
On Tuesday, the official Instagram page of Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla shared pictures of Kriti Sanon dressed in their custom-designed white and gold saree, which she wore to the Adipurush trailer launch event. They shared all the intricate design details of the six yards and wowed netizens. According to their post, Kriti's double-drape vintage Kerala cotton saree features a 24-carat gold Khadi block print, and her blouse came decked in tamba [copper] tikki flowers and emeralds. Read more details about the ensemble below.
According to Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla, they used pure fabrics for Kriti's saree because it had to depict the 'purity of Sita'. They wrote, "It is about revival, it's about Sita, it's about being classic. The look was all about using pure fabrics because it's about the purity of Sita. Kriti embodied it to perfection!"
They added, “Kriti Sanon is a vision in a double-drape saree featuring a mix of off-white khadi saree with a zardozi border and a vintage Kerala cotton saree with 24-carat gold Khadi block print. The combination of the two sarees with red highlights on the border and the intricate detailing of the mustard Farisha resham blouse with tamba tikki flowers and emeralds.”
Meanwhile, Kriti draped the cotton saree traditionally, letting the pallu fall from the shoulder in a floor-grazing style. She placed a pleated matching saree on the other shoulder and paired the double-drape six yards with a mustard Farisha resham blouse.
Lastly, Kriti accessorised the beauteous outfit with earrings, ornate gold bangles, and statement rings. A centre-parted white-rose gajra-adorned low bun, minimal makeup, and a dainty bindi gave the finishing touch.
