While Priyanka went short, Ileana went long in an ombré halter-neck Shantanu-Nikhil anarkali that she paired with nude pumps. With the other two (Priyanka and Ranbir) doing casual (see inside), the heavy-duty suit felt a bit much in comparison. A more low-key desi outfit would’ve worked better.

It was a pink Shantanu-Nikhil gown for Ms. Gupta at the trailer launch of Chakravyuh. Wish Esha had skipped on the pearl necklace. It clashed with the gunmetal embroidery. You like?

Slacked off on these Wish Lists, didn’t we? So without much further delay, (drumroll please) here’s one!
Ms. Saran was an easy pick for the series. Beautiful woman, unfortunate sartorial choices. She tends to favor a certain kind of sari, a certain kind of dress… And if not stuck in that rut, the hair and make-up seem to let her down. Below is our wishful indulgence… How we’d love to see her in any/all of ’em! Some are bit of a stretch but, think twice why don’t you?!

Shriya Saran
It’d be great to see Ms. Saran pick Indian-wear that wasn’t the tried and tested, her go-to sheer and/or blingy options. Styled differently to work off the runway, each of these looks would look great on her. A soft braided updo and a statement necklace with the sari-inspired Tarun dress or the Kotwara one with the dupatta worn more casually and plaited hair would make for such a great change!

We’d love to see more pared down, minimalist tinged looks on Shriya. There is no reason to fall back on bling for every Red Carpet appearance, is there now? Look at that JJ Vallaya gown, impactful without assaulting the senses. How we’d love to see that off the runway!

It can’t always be floor-sweeping gowns, can it? These looks below are worthy of their moment and, we know with just the right hair, make-up and accessories, there’s no reason why Shriya can’t have a moment in them. That Namrata Joshipura look is practically made for Shriya. And look, it’s not tacktastic. (P.S: The Joshipura skirt could be yours!)

We know Ms. Saran loves her maxis, wish she’d try some quirky printed ones too. Like the Rimi Nayak one. You are young. And you only live once! 😉 It’d be great to see her in an easy-breezy dress like the Anita Dongre one too.

And now, this is the part where we cross our fingers!

Esha looked very statuesque in her red draped Shantanu And Nikhil gown. Side-swept hair, red lips and a cocktail ring completed her look. A dramatic look she wears well.
