Mumbai, Sep 23 Designer Manish Malhotra shared fascinating anecdotes about the iconic saree once worn by the late Sridevi, which Janhvi Kapoor chose to don at the premiere of her film “Homebound.”

The choice of attire not only paid tribute to the legendary actress but also added a touch of timeless elegance to Janhvi’s look. In his Instagram post, Manish shared the story behind the royal blue pashmina saree worn by Janhvi. He revealed that the saree, first worn by Sridevi in 2017, holds a special place in his heart.

The designer shared photos of both Sridevi and Janhvi Kapoor wearing the same royal blue pashmina saree, highlighting the touching continuity between mother and daughter.

For the caption, Manish Malhotra wrote, “This one is really special to me… coming full circle… the one and only #Sridevi … an icon in every way and so close to my heart… first wore this heirloom royal blue pashmina saree in 2017. @janhvikapoor wore the same saree for the premiere of @homeboundthefilm a heartfelt tribute to her mother.”

“Showcasing gold tilla and chinar motifs, it celebrates centuries of Kashmiri craft, a tradition we have worked with for years. In Janhvi’s choice, the saree is more than clothing… it highlights sustainable fashion… it is a living legacy of love, style, and heritage passed from mother to daughter. #archival #mymmsaree #janvhikapoor styling #megan #mmteam @manishmalhotraworld,” he added.

Janhvi Kapoor looked stunning draped in a royal blue saree at the special screening of “Homebound.” This saree was previously worn by Sridevi at Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli’s wedding reception in 2017.

Mirroring her mother’s elegant style, the ‘Dhadak’ actress accessorized with heavy gold jewelry and styled her hair in a neat bun. Janhvi was accompanied by her boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya’s family at the event. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on September 26.
