Actors Kriti Sanon and Katrina Kaif recently stole the spotlight during Navratri celebrations in Kochi, showcasing their timeless elegance in exquisite ethnic sarees. Both stars embraced the festive spirit by opting for stunning ensembles that paid homage to India's rich textile heritage.
Kriti Sanon dazzled in a Tarun Tahiliani creation, which featured intricate aari and zardozi embroidery on hand-painted artwork. The saree, accentuated with sequins, kundan, and crystals, was perfectly complemented by a matching blouse. Adding to her regal look, the 'Mimi' star accessorized with a statement choker necklace and completed her attire with a delicate pink bindi, bringing together the essence of modern Indian grace.
The actress later took to Instagram to share glimpses of her stunning outfit, captioning her post with, "This Heer loves her sarees," showcasing her affection for traditional wear.
Katrina Kaif, equally enchanting, also wore a saree by Tarun Tahiliani, adorned with the signature Kashida-inspired design. Her ensemble included a matching blouse, with intricate tassel detailing on the sleeves, adding a contemporary twist to the ethnic silhouette. Katrina shared her look on social media, wishing her fans a "Shubh Navratri."
Both stars were part of the Navratri celebrations hosted by the Kalyanaram family, owners of Kalyan Jewellers. The event saw other notable attendees, including Ajay Devgn, Naga Chaitanya, Rashmika Mandanna, and Saif Ali Khan, all dressed in traditional attire. Ajay donned a light pink kurta with subtle embroidery, while Saif exuded royalty in a pleated dhoti paired with a striking blue kurta.
Navratri, meaning 'nine nights,' is a revered Hindu festival dedicated to Goddess Durga and her nine avatars, known as Navdurga. Celebrated across India in various forms, the festival concludes with Vijayadashami, marking the victory of good over evil, symbolized by the burning of Ravana's effigies.
The Kochi event was a perfect blend of tradition and style, with Kriti and Katrina serving as the ultimate muses of modern Indian fashion, embracing their ethnic roots with flair.
