For the Aashirwad ceremony, Radhika Merchant picked another Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla creation and this time she opted for a more aesthetic look. Her pink lehenga is a blend of art and fashion that has Jayasri’s painting on it. Just recently, Rhea Kapoor shared her look on her Instagram while revealing that the lehenga’s 12 panels are hand-painted on a special Italian canvas. Moreover, the garment celebrates Anant’s union with Radhika through deeply meaningful imagery.
The caption read, “The human figures represent the happy couple radiating a celestial aura that honours the divinity in their humanity. The fauna depicts Anant’s fondness for animals, particularly elephants that are considered auspicious and beautiful.” The lehenga features meticulous hand embroidery of real gold Zardozi along with sequins. Whereas the blouse has been hand embroidered entirely in Resham.

Commenting on the collaboration, she adds “Abu Sandeep are artists. The only difference is that their medium is couture while mine is canvas. Both Rhea and Abu Sandeep gave me total creative freedom and understood my essence as an artist. I found my brush dancing all over the canvas. My only hope now is that it inspires a smile on Radhika’s face and maybe someday, we’ll even see it hanging on her wall!”
