In another post, Alia Bhatt mentioned that it took “a total of 1965-man hours” to create the piece. “We embraced a delicate nostalgia for hair and makeup – an elevated coiffure embellished with intricately woven braids and soft freckles – a homage to time’s gentle caress. Creating this has been quite an experience… fun and stressful in equal parts. It has taken a collective effort of 163 dedicated individuals, including master craftspeople, embroiderers, artists, and dyers, investing a total of 1965-man hours to create this ethereal saree. As I wear this outfit, I feel incredibly grateful to embody this exquisite creation, a testament to boundless love and painstaking effort,” read an excerpt from Alia Bhatt’s post.
Alia Bhatt will next be seen in Jigra alongside Vedang Raina.
