New Delhi:
Actress Vidya Balan's love for
saris is no secret, but it's a red Banarasi
sari gifted by her husband, UTV Disney head, Siddharth Roy Kapur, which she considers to be one of her prized possessions.
"I have a collection of cotton
saris, which I picked up from different parts of the country in hues of orange, pink, brown and red. My other prized possessions include a green and pink
Kanjeevaram sari gifted by my parents and a red Banarasi
sari which Siddharth gifted me," Vidya said in a statement.
Vidya said that she fell in love with
saris when she was just three-year-old.
"My family album has pictures of me dressed up in my mother's
saris. If I could take one thing from my mother's wardrobe, it would be her old
kanjeevarams," said Vidya, who is the face of World Ethnic Day, which will be celebrated globally on June 19.
Meanwhile, she is awaiting the release of
Hamari Adhuri Kahani. The Mohit Suri-directed film also features actors Emraan Hashmi and Rajkummar Rao.
