Promotions for Hichki on Tuesday saw Ms. Mukerji in a black Sabyasachi gharara, one that she looked lovely in. Agree?

      • Already, just wish it get noticed like it did here! N yes, a blunder not expected from a designer of big repute! Distorting a name of an outfit which has a royal past is something not acceptable! Not bloggers’ fault though if designer himself has distorted the name! Sad!

        • How do you differentiate between a gharara and sharara? I have a similar pants with the flared bottoms but a slightly longer kurta(just long enough to cover the joint). Would that be a gharara?

          • Pants with joint at thigh/knee region are ghararas, irrespective of top’s length. Usually, gharara are worn with kurta which is long but doesn’t cover the joint, reason being to showcase dramatic flare which begins below the joint as worn here by Rani. Gharara was the outfit of royal muslim women during Nawabi era. The dress was later adopted by common women of Awadh region n its popukarity spread to Pakistan too. It is still a popular choice by muslim women during weddings in UP. Shararas are divided flared pants without joint, eg. the one worn by Kareena in bole chooriya song. Lancha is an umbrella cut skirt worn with long choli, the one worn by Madhuri in song dulhe ki saaliyon. Hope this helps!

            The song reference was helpful too 🙂
            Also, could you please explain how to differentiate between Laacha, Lehenga and Ghagra skirts ?

  1. There was a time before Aishwarya, Deepika, Sreedevi and even Vidhya Balan became Sabya fans, a time when Rani was the original muse. She wore his sarees with love and confidence when he was not this well known. Sweet reminder of that time…

  2. I’m surprised this is a sabya, on first glance the proportions look so off because of how short the top is and the huge border. Rani looks great tho
