Renowned for her chic yet comfortable style, Shanaya Kapoor, an upcoming face in Bollywood, has often drawn fashion inspiration from iconic film characters. This time, she channeled the essence of Alia Bhatt’s Rani Chatterjee from the movie “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” for her recent stunning appearance.Adorning herself for a friend’s wedding celebrations, Shanaya Kapoor chose an elegant yellow and blue tie-dye chiffon sari by Akanksha Gajria. The sari boasted delicate mirror embellishments, adding a touch of glamour to the ensemble. Paired impeccably with a blouse featuring matching mirrorwork, Shanaya completed her traditional festive look with chandbali earrings from Sanzany Jewels.


The character of Rani Chatterjee played by Alia Bhatt sparked a resurgence of chiffon sarees in Bollywood during 2023. Inspired by the classic Yash Raj films of the 90s, this trend was reminiscent of icons like Madhuri Dixit in “Dil Toh Pagal Hai,” where couturier and costume designer Manish Malhotra crafted iconic chiffon sarees, and Sridevi in “Chandni,” donning a memorable sunflower yellow saree. This lightweight drape became synonymous with femininity, grace, and allure in Hindi cinema, often paying homage to in later films like “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil” by Anushka Sharma. Even Alia Bhatt’s various promotional looks for “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” centered around vibrant hues and ombre tones of this classic drape.


Shanaya Kapoor’s choice to embrace this timeless fashion trend demonstrates not only her fashion-forward approach but also pays homage to the cinematic heritage that continues to influence Bollywood’s style narrative.
