An Udaipur-based tailor claimed that Oscar-winning actress Judi Dench once visited his house to have a jacket tailor-made. The tailor, whose shop is named Sandouk House of Fashion, shared the anecdote with a foreign vlogger, showing an old photograph as proof of her visit.
The tailor claimed that Judi Dench was in Udaipur for the filming of 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' movie and was looking for someone to copy a specific jacket. After struggling to find a suitable tailor in the city, she was recommended to his place, where he successfully made the jacket for her. The tailor showed the vlogger an old, faded photograph, which he claimed was of Judi Dench taken inside his home during that time. The vlogger was visibly stunned by the revelation.
''She came to my house because she was looking for a tailor-made jacket. She wanted a copy of a jacket but couldn't find any tailor in Udaipur. Someone recommended my place, so she came to my house. We made the same jacket for her. I am also a tailor. I make such jackets and suits," he said.
The tailor also mentioned meeting other cast members from the movie, including Bill Nighy, Dev Patel, and Maggie Smith.
