Her latest pick, too, underscores the rich handwoven , Kareena Kapoor Khan, Rashmika Mandanna, Preity G Zinta and Mrunal Thakur among many other stars have been spotted in the simple yet show-stopping sharara set in a panoply of colours. But few have been as dedicated to the creation as Rao Hydari, who picks up a new shade each season. Now, in June 2024, she delivered another memorable look by relying on a rani pink iteration.

In April amidst the press tour of the Netflix series , Rao Hydari turned to Raw Mango’s Radhika sharara set made with a bottle green Varanasi silk brocade that was drawn from the label’s archives using the elaborate technique where each motif is woven separately.
