Janhvi wore a multi-coloured lehenga designed by Anamika Khanna that featured exquisite Gujarati prints with her signature lacework.

She teamed it up with an embellished deep neckline blouse and draped a bold purple dupatta in chic pleated style. If you wish to opt for a vibrant and heavily embroidered chaniya choli look, then this has to be your cue.
