Kumar has put her master-craftsmanship skills to recreate the antique, traditional joda passed down to Sharmila Tagore, the Begum of Pataudi for Kareena Kapoor’s wedding outfit. The original joda was gifted to her by her mother in law, Begum Sajida Sultan of Bhopal, who wore it for her wedding in 1939.

With Kumar’s expertise we have no doubts that this will be one fabulous piece!
