Woman claims Radhika Merchant’s flower dupatta is inspired by this Instagram reel

An Instagram influencer shared a video showing a flower dupatta, similar to the one worn by Radhika Merchant, being made at a shop in Delhi-NCR.

Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are set to get married today, July 12. The celebrations for pre-wedding rituals started a few days ago with the mameru ceremony. Expectedly, the attire and the jewellery worn by the bride-to-be intrigued people, especially a flower dupatta that Radhika wore during her haldi ceremony at Antilia on July 8. A video about it has now attracted people’s attention. In the video, a woman asks if a particular Instagram reel, shared a few months ago, inspired the floral dupatta worn by Radhika.

Sakshi Sundriyal, whose bio says she decodes celebrity looks, shared the video on Instagram. “Is Radhika Merchant’s Haldi Look with Phoolo Ka Dupatta Inspired by this reel?” she wrote as she posted her video. She also tagged Florenzaa Design & Styling, a Delhi-NCR-based florist.

Sundriyal starts by saying that since she saw Radhika’s dupatta, she has felt that she has seen a similar garment piece somewhere else. In the rest of the video, she explains where she has seen a similar piece.
