From wearing her fiancée’s grandmother’s sari for a traditional South Indian ceremony on October 6 to advising young women to stay comfortable in their own skin and not be bogged down by the fashion police, actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu is everything a feisty young bride-to-be should be.
Award-winning actress and bride-to-be Samantha Ruth Prabhu admits that she has no time to shop or plan her bridal trousseau. Between multiple film projects and endorsements, she’s handed over the mammoth task of designing three outfits, including one completely traditional and one stunningly modern, for her upcoming Goa wedding, to her best friend, designer and millionaire heiress, Kresha Bajaj
Kresha is putting together signature gold, diamond, royal gems and kundan jewellery pieces from her husband, Vanraj Zaveri’s Tribhuvandas Bhimji Zaveri collection, as well as designing Samantha’s outfits under her Mumbai-based label, Koecsh. One-of-a-kind shoes and jewellery by popular designers as well as from niche ethnic stores are presently being scouted for.
“I really do not have the time. I have given Kresha complete freedom and I’m not planning to go bridezilla on her!” Samantha laughs, adding, “But I do know this. For the long-established South Indian ceremony I will be wearing my fiancée’s grandmother’s sari... a priceless sari worn by D Rajeshwari, the wife of D Ramainadu. Since she is the eldest on both the sides of our families, I wanted the outfit to be an ode to her. For the Christian ceremony, I’ve left the task to Kresha, since she had given me a fairytale engagement lehenga capturing my entire love story, and I completely trust her. She’ll definitely make me look my best,” Samantha beams. The traditional sari will be coupled with gold ornaments including a custom made kamarpatta and arm-bracelets.
