Sobhita And The Saree
While speaking to co-host, fashion journalist Bandana Tewari, Sobhita confessed to finding the struggle young women face with sarees, unrelatable. She revealed, “I grew up in South India and women in the south wear saris daily. My mother, teachers, principals have always worn a sari on a daily basis. My mother wore saris to work, for picnics, while travelling so it never occurred to me that saris were occasion wear. I saw a woman playing so many roles in a sari. According to me, saris give a woman a sense of power and confidence. For this reason, the sari always meant strength and an epitome of grace to me”. We share her thoughts on making the saree more wearable for young women.

Sobhita And Made In Heaven
The actress has also been very open about the choice of roles playing complex female characters. About her stint in ‘Made In heaven’, she revealed, “When I was in conversation with the makers of Made in Heaven, the digital medium hadn’t expanded as much as it has. It was the start of something new and that intrigued me to try it out. Made in Heaven was also made by people of distinct merit so was easy for me to be a part of the show. I got called back for a look test a month and a half later. Their keenness towards me, along with the fact that every person involved was of such great talent made my decision making process easy. And honestly, I did believe in the story and team and that the show would garner great traction”. And we are glad it did so well!

Sobhita And Satya Paul’s ‘Folklure’
Sobhita spent the entirety of the event marvelling the gorgeous hand-painted sarees. She divulged, “I come from Andhra Pradesh which is where Kalamkari originated so I am familiar with the type of art but to see Satya Paul incorporating these form in their designs is very inspiring. These art forms seem to have lost their appreciation over the course of time. Satya Paul’s Folklure collection is a great attempt of reviving ancient traditions especially by making it look so stylish and chic. My favourite from Satya Paul’s folklure collection is the sari I’m wearing at this event, it’s called the Manthan sari. I also really like the Kajal and Phool sari. I love the bold colours used in all of them”. We loved the light-weight, pretty sarees, they moved like the wind and that’s so cool!
Finally, we managed to pry a bit and wanted to know the secret to well maintained, plump lips. “I have always relied on home remedies. I use a home made scrub made of honey and sugar for my lips. I also always carry a lip balm with me to keep my lips hydrated”, revealed Sobhita. Noted!
