Interestingly, actor Deepika Padukone’s brocade silk Kanjeevaram saree from her and Ranveer Singh's 2018 Konkani wedding at Lake Como in Italy was also from Advaya by The House of Angadi. It was crafted using pure zari threads and the Bengaluru-based heritage store, which has been harnessing the traditions of centuries-old weaves for nearly 600 years. According to a 2018 Vogue India report, Deepika's wedding saree took approximately 45 days to complete.

Deepika's Kanjeevaram saree was an ode to her heritage
“That Deepika came with her mother and selected the saris personally was a clear indication about the impending wedding. The exclusive Advaya bridal collection was showcased to the Padukones,” the source behind Deepika’s Konkani wedding saree, K Radharaman, who is the founder of Angadi Galleria, was quoted as saying by Vogue India back in 2018.
“The Gandaberunda, a mythical two-headed bird seen on the orange sari, is symbolic of Deepika’s home state of Karnataka. The bird is part of Indian legend and folklore and represents prosperity and wisdom. It is a symbol of royalty and heritage, and the fact that Deepika wore it for her wedding and chose a Bengaluru-based design label is a matter of pride to her home state,” he had added.
