A creative fashionista from Mumbai recently turned heads with a unique saree-turned-dhoti outfit that has won hearts online. In a viral video, the creator draped a saree in an unusual and stylish way, giving traditional clothing a modern twist.
What made the look even more special was that he wore his mother’s saree for Ganesh Chaturthi.
The video was shared by Bhooshan Malkani, with the caption, “They say style is what you make of it… But sometimes, it’s what you inherit. This saree has seen her stories, and now it’s part of mine.”
The video captured Malkani folding his mother’s saree into dhoti style. Even at the start, it looked straight out of a fashion magazine, but pairing it with a well-fitted kurta took the look to the next level.
