Sarees and Bollywood stars go hand in hand. Even though there are fashionable gowns, lacy dresses, and chic pant suits available, when they want ethnic attire, they never go past a saree. It always works for formal occasions or festive parties. We think Kajol would agree. The star has often shown that a stunning saree always fits the dress code, regardless of the occasion. Don’t trust us? You’ve come at the perfect time as we look at the three occasions when Kajol looked stunning in a saree.

If you referred to Kajol as one of Manish Malhotra’s muses throughout the years, you wouldn’t be far off the mark. Some of the actor’s most recognizable costumes from cult movies like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham were designed by the couturier. The stylist was also in charge of a number of Kajol’s off-screen appearances at red-carpet events and social gatherings including weddings. She has worn Manish Malhotra saris when she first entered the Bollywood industry.

Kajol chose a dramatic choker to go with her crimson sari.

In addition to the striking geometric print on her sari, Kajol’s outfit was notable for the item she chose. The actor omitted earrings and finished off her Indian suit with a statement lapis and an amethyst necklace with ruby drops, which brought instant color to her ensemble. Kajol highlighted her features with nude lips, winged eyeliner, and flawlessly defined cheekbones while leaving her thick hair open.

The beautifully constructed Kaia sari that gave Kajol her Anita Dongre appearance was made of exquisite silk, and the renowned designer added her trademark Rajasthani Gota Patti work in foliage designs to the border to complete the effect. The vibrant color of Kajol’s traditional Banarasi weaving gave it a modern twist. “This sari, which is in a traditional Banarasi weave and ideal for a summer wedding, is one of my favorite designs. This lime color is vivacious, young, and seductive, the designer said to us. Kajol’s blouse added another contemporary element to the look. The celebrity opted for a strapless top with a back knot.
