Another celebrity spotted in Banarasi!
This is how we planned to announce this. However, we being JDS Banaras, like our subtly royal banarasi silk handloom sarees, will announce this as well with subtlety. The word is true. One of the rising stars of the Indian Film Fraternity Raashii Khanna spells magic is radiant in mustard yellow brocade banarasi handloom silk saree, and that too a proper brocade banarasi saree.
Why are we glossing over the words Raashii Khanna, brocade, and handloom banarasi?
We have the simplest answer to all three. We at JDS Banaras have firmly held on to the patronage and promotion of authentic handloom banarasi silk sarees and fabrics for more than a century now. Hence each time a popular lady exuberates elegance in a handloom banarasi silk saree or attire, we feel a boost in enthusiasm.
Popular actor Rashi Khanna in Banarasi saree
This is not the first time that Raashii Khanna wore a silk saree. But before we discuss this look, let us introduce our rising star in question.
An already popular name in the Southern Indian films, Rashi Khanna has showcased her talent in Telugu and Malayalam movies like Oohalu Gusagusalade and Villain.
Known to have proven her mettle in predominantly Telugu and Tamil films such as Imaikkaa Nodigal, she made her acting debut with a character role in the critically acclaimed Hindi movie Madras Café.
Though she did switch to movies from modelling, yet you cannot take the pose and poise from the model beginnings; evidence can be found in all her poised pictures.
It is fair to say that JDS Banaras and our online store Sacred Weaves feel proud that this Indian elegance chose our saree for herself.
Rashi Khanna assembles a Spring Bride Look
When we say yellow, we think of Basant Ritu and for those brides who are looking for a colour that is not red or any shade from the family of pinks and reds, a mustard yellow spells festive. There are women who like to be different and nowadays, with sustainability in wardrobe catching the fancy and admiration of the educated younger generations, a brocade mustard banarasi saree, like the one Raashii chose from our collections, can be the perfect drape.
Maybe it is your engagement, or you have a fancier haldi ceremony, or maybe, it is your reception or the first official party you have to attend after marriage, this saree with the right set of accessories and styling can blend in without furrowing your brows. You need to wear a statement choker necklace or a closer to the neck statement sleek piece just like Rashi is wearing in kundan to match the golden hues of the beaten gold zari of the brocade work.
Keep your hair open if you skip on the necklace, or wear studs or jhumkas with a neater bun or semi-open hairdo. You can use yellow hair accessories, like Rashi did or maybe opt for soft white flowers. If your jewelry is breaking the colour palette using a gemstone in a contrasting shade, your flowers can match the colour, or else be absent in entirety.
Rashi Khanna is poised and delicate in Banarasi Brocade
She is a model so of course she knows how much makeup wear. Keeping a matte glow, she has opted for subtle kohl laden eyes with natural skin tone complemented by that tiny bindi between her brows.
Her nude shade lip colour just makes us believe how subtlety has an aura of its own. This aura is complimented by the softly delicate banarasi silk thin strapped blouse in the same shade of yellow mustard as the saree. However, the blouse also adds to her poise somehow, in a very sublime way. The other thing it does is, the blouse balances the beaten gold zariwork of the saree.
Final Address:
The saree is eye catching, but Rashi makes it almost etched in the aspirational looks for everyone who wants to look sustainably billion dollars and emulate their individuality through the yards of silken handloom banarasi sarees. This brocade banarasi look and how she is radiant in this is truly admirable and we at JDS Banaras, while sitting in our Kashi store, want to see more such celebrities look gorgeous and inspire those who look up to them.
