Rani Mukherjee, who came down to the capital to attend her close friend and designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s showcase at the Shree Raj Mahal Jewellers India Couture Week (ICW), also got a chance to talk to him about what she could wear to promote her forthcoming Bollywood film Mardaani.
Though her look is far from feminine, dainty or elegant in the film, the newly-wed — who recently married movie producer Aditya Chopra — wants some special creations by Sabyasachi to promote the film.
“I was having a chat with him [Sabyasachi] about the clothes I want to wear for the promotion of Mardaani,” Mukherjee said after the designer’s show.
Dressed in an ensemble from Sabyasachi’s new collection, Ferozabad, which he showcased at ICW on Tuesday night, Mukherjee exuded elegance in a cream sari embellished with intricate zari work and teamed with a black blouse. The glow on her face, accentuated by an ornate hairstyle and a well-placed red rose in her locks, added to the entire look.
Sabyasachi happens to know Mukherjee’s taste, and she’s a fan of his work. He is also the designer who created her special ensemble for her wedding, held in Italy in April.
“It had to be Sabya,” she exclaimed.
The actress was especially happy to be at Sabyasachi’s latest couture showcase.
“I can only say that I am very happy to have Sabya as my brother, my friend and my family. I’m lucky to know him... and yes, he makes such beautiful clothes,” she said.
Mukherjee’s Mardaani, produced under Yash Raj Films, features Mukherjee in the rough and tough role of a police officer.
