It’s been a busy time for director Aparna Sen who first attended the IView Film Festival in New York in September and then the Chicago South Asian Film Festival in Oct. She paired her red (bomkai?) sari with silver jewellery the first time around and then a gold choker at the Chicago appearance. Love the sari. The jewellery, not so much.

Accompanying her at New York was daughter Konkona, who picked an orange one with a pink border and pallu. Of the four ladies, we know which one we loved the least. It was Raajeshwari’s. Would’ve loved Deepti if she added some drop earrings with hers.

After her performance at Zee TV’s Action Replay Diwali Show, Neha switched into a Label By Ritu Kumar top paired with purple knee-length leggings and olive boots. Another look that didn’t quite work because of the boots. We’d have loved some easy gladiator flats with this one. You like?

For the first screening of Dhobi Ghat at the 54th BFI London Film Festival, it was Pankaj & Nidhi again for director Kiran Rao. Love the comfy-casual dress but oh-no at the boots. Would’ve rather seen her wear stockings and ankle booties to beat the cold.

Once, it’s funny. Twice, it’s pushing it. But more than three times, you know you are being a douche. We are talking about Shivdasani and his penchant for tees with sexual connotations.

CRINGEWORTHY!

P.S. The last one reads “Sleep With Me, Free Breakfast”. GAG!

Not quite a ‘Ditto’ moment like the sangeet incident, these two saris were similar enough. Question is, do you prefer either or neither? Neither is our pick.
