Deepika Padukone, who became a mother for the first time on September 8, 2024, has opted for trendy outfits that we generally associate with maternity wear. Recently, she made news with her visit to Siddhivinayak temple where she wore a spectacular emerald green Banarasi sari which was bought by her renowned stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania for her.

It is a beautiful piece of art by Banarasi Baithak where the shinning of dew on the sari reflects both the tradition and the contemporary design. Simply stated, it is beautifully formed to look very tasteful; it is gold embroidered, comes with lace and tassels. The design of the sari is based on a model from one hundred years ago However, the Varanasi weavers have-masterfully reinterpreted it in order to add modern details to the traditional boota motifs for better draping. This proactive attitude enabled Deepika to feel comfortable in interacting with it, given its historical background.

For the Hindis, emerald green color of the saree holds spiritual meaning as the color of fertility and new starts. With the topic, she captures the current life phase of Deepika, the glamorous pregnancy phase and the luxurious side of her personality. Not only the general design was broken away from the modern trend but it also showed native elegance in her moves and proved the love for Indian culture.
