Aishwarya Rai’s white saree in Mohabbatein

How has Bollywood made a fashion mark with traditional sarees?
In the 1950s and 60s, Bollywood icons like Meena Kumari and Madhubala were often seen gracing the screen in silk and chiffon sarees. Soon, with more experimental draping styles and modish prints, actresses like Rekha and Sridevi brought the era of Banarasi sarees, which eventually became their signature look. Through consistent appearances in films and on red carpets, Bollywood has solidified the saree’s position as a timeless fashion choice.
