Genelia Deshmukh, who stars alongside actor-producer Aamir Khan in the latest movie Sitaare Zameen Par, made a royal statement in a quintessential chikankari saree at the movie’s premiere in Mumbai.
The ethereal chikankari which is done in Lucknow by female artisans was envisioned by master couturiers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla. The saree which takes anywhere between six and eight months to complete, is deeply rooted in Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla’s design journey which is over 35 years.
An epitome of grace and refinement, the saree was complemented with an embellished blouse featuring glistening sequins, pearls strategically embroidered in miniature floral patterns. The blouse was completed with pearl tassels placed on the hem of the sleeves.
Genelia and Aamir Khan both were dressed in the hallmark chikankari beautifully celebrated by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla. Genelia was accompanied by her husband and actor Riteish Deshmukh. A starry affair, the premiere of Sitaare Zameen Par was also attended by celebrities such as Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Vicky Kaushal, Rekha, Tamannaah Bhatia, Jackie Shroff, Tiger Shroff, Juhi Chawla, Darsheel Safary, Imran Khan and Junaid Khan, among others, attended the screening.
