Critically acclaimed actress, Vidya Balan, sought Lord Ganesha’s blessings at the famed Lalbaugcha Raja in Mumbai. Accompanied by her father, mother, brother, sister-in-law and their twins, Vidya visited the legendary shrine which is famed for granting miracles and wishes of devotees.

She wore a white woven khadi-silk saree with borders woven in checks and stripes in sixteen colours, by Shruti Sancheti. The saree has 3D lotuses hanging from the edges of the pallu.

Says Shruti, “White being a devotional colour, this saree is apt for a religious occasion while the bright coloured border adds that dash of hue to reflect the festivities.”

We like this new, light and restrained look – a departure from the dark hued sarees which other designers would drape her in.
