Going the desi way! Bollywood actresses who make sarees look glamorous

Those eternal images of Sridevi in that mesmerising blue saree in ‘Kaate Nahi Kat Te’ from Mr.India or Madhuri Dixit in that satin purple saree in ‘Deedi Tera Deevar Deewana’ from ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun!’ are going to haunt us all our lives. There’s something about the nine yards saree that beats those gowns with plunging necklines or hot miniskirts, hands down. Given our proclivity for B-town beauties and their fashion sense, why not take a look at some of our Bollywood ladies who take the ‘gorgeousness’ of sarees to an epic level. (Also Read: Style Alert!

Vidya Balan: The sex symbol of a thinking man

Vidya has become synonymous with sarees. Defying all the skinny figure norms, the voluptuous Bollywood beauty’s love for Kanjeevaram and silk sarees is not hidden from the media. The lady makes sarees look super graceful and hot-hot with her sexy back patterns and intricate designs. She’s a treat to your eyes.

Aishwarya Rai: When eyes do all the talking

Can we forget the incredible look of ‘thakurain’ of ‘Devdas’ or that dreamy-eyed Paro in Bengali sarees? A saree-clad Aish sweeps into a room in such regal style that it’s impossible to not get smitten with her charm.

Shilpa Shetty: Hotness personified

The glam goddess has time and again stunned everyone with her low flung saris and sizzling blouses. Remember that sexy pink saree with a short blouse in ‘Om Shanti Om’? The lady manages to make jaws drop with her saree looks, thanks to her envy-inducing curves and rowdy thumkas.

Deepika Padukone: Dimple queen of Bollywood

The Mastani of B-town loves sporting saree at public and red carpet events. Whether it’s her minimal blue saree in ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ or South Indian avatar in ‘Chennai Express’, she melts our hearts with her dimpled smile and athletic built. Who said you need to be curvy to flaunt the nine yard? No pun intended.

Priyanka Chopra: Desi girl with a videshi touch

Piggy Chop’s ‘Desi Girl’ song in that sexy silver-grey saree in ‘Dostana’ is probably one of her hottest looks till date. Not everyone can carry off sarees the way she does. It’s almost like sarees are custom-made for her curves, which she flaunts unapologetically. Given a choice, we would love to copy her saree looks. Would you?

We love the love affair of these actresses with the six yards. Do you?
