Giving the traditional handwoven cotton kasavu saree a contemporary twist, Kalyani Priyadarshan draped a saree with a neon green border instead of the gold zari border. Surrounded by nature, the cotton handwoven saree matched Kalyani’s energy. She paired the simple saree with a sleeveless V-neck blouse with printed floral motifs. Looking elegant and chic, the saree is versatile and can be draped on various occasions. What we love about this look, is that it complements Kalyani’s charming personality.
