There are hand-me-downs, and then there are hand-me-downs that deserve their own fashion credit. Sharvari has given her mother’s treasured pink Patola saree a rather enviable promotion, taking the traditional weave from her family wardrobe straight into the fashion spotlight. Worn for the promotions of ‘Yeh Prem Mol Liya’, the ensemble brings together the richness of an heirloom textile and the sharp tailoring of a strapless corset.
The story behind the saree is every bit as lovely as the clothes. Taking to Instagram, Sharvari revealed that her mother gifted her the Patola after watching Jhumka Patola for the first time. The saree had been part of her mother’s wardrobe for years, accompanying her through countless memories.Sharvari revisited old photographs of her mother wearing it before having the garment reworked, and her mother’s reaction made the experience even more special. As the actress put it, “Wearing her saree feels like being wrapped in her love and blessings!” Sentiment has rarely looked this well dressed.
