Amrita wore a blue silk brocade lehenga skirt featuring floral patterns with a wide silver border, which he paired with a V-neckline blouse with sleek silver floral embroidery and intricate silver work. She matched it with a matching blue dupatta with a subtly worked border and subtly draped it on one shoulder, with the other end tucked around her waist.

So, she didn’t reinvent herself completely but understood the assignment to embrace her signature softness for which she was loved and adored. Some Bollywood characters may indeed belong to the past, but because of the actors, their charm always remains timeless, and this was indeed one of those moments.
