After Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli secretly tied the knot in Italy, the newlyweds hosted a grand reception party in Delhi for their friends and family. While the party was a lavish affair, all eyes were on Anushka, who looked resplendent in a beautiful bright red Benarasi saree by ace designer Sabyasachi.
Thanking Anushka for opting for a traditional red Benarsi saree, Sabyasachi, in a social media post stated that ‘copies of this saree will flood the entire country in the next few months to come’ and we completely agree with him. And why not? Benarasi sarees deserve all the love and attention because they not only look and feel royal but also reflect the Indian heritage and promote the handloom industry. Known mostly for the intricate gold and silver zari work, Benarasi sarees are available in a variety of colours and should be on every bride’s ‘must-have’ list.
