On Sunday, actor Sonakshi Sinha exchanged her vows with her boyfriend Zaheer Iqbal. Unlike any other Bollywood celeb, she opted for a low-key wedding with only her friends and family in attendance. For her wedding day, Sonakshi Sinha wore a stunning off-white chikankari saree with a matching blouse and it was revealed that she wore her mother Poonam Sinha’s wedding dress. She upcycled her mother’s saree for the special day and this priceless gesture gets her love in abundance. However, she is not the only one to endorse sustainable fashion or have a low-cost wedding trousseau.
Given that Bollywood celebs and even brides opt for a heavy lehenga or designer wear for their special day. However, some chose to use their mother or mother-in-law’s wedding outfits on their wedding days. Speaking of which, stars like Kareena Kapoor Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor and others have added maa ki mamta to their wedding trousseau.
Bollywood actresses who wore mother’s wedding outfits for their special day

Back in 2012, Bebo was also one of them who reminded us about the minimal wedding outfit. Wearing Pataudi family’s heirloom for her nikaah, Kareena gained massive respect. She opted for her mother-in-law, Sharmila Tagore’s bridal sharara which she had worn at her wedding with Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi in 1962. The Crew actor even opted for the same jewellery and she looked stunning.
