"Once a Kanjivaram girl, always a Kanjivaram girl – Pooja Hegde"

Mumbai, June 17

Actress Pooja Hegde has professed her love for Kanjivaram sarees and said that she is always a “Kanjivaram girl.”

Pooja took to Instagram, where she shared a string of images and clips from a recent photoshoot, where she wore an exquisite aubergine and gold hued saree. She completed her look with drop earrings, a choker and bangles. For the make-up, she went subtle with nude lips and left her long straight black hair open.

She wrote: “Once a Kanjivaram girl, always a Kanjivaram girl.”

Kanjivaram sarees are renowned for their South Indian origin and are made from pure mulberry silk. They are heavy and have exquisite craftsmanship.

On the work front, Pooja will next be seen next in “Hain Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hain," which is being made under the direction of David Dhawan.

With Varun Dhawan as the protagonist, the highly-anticipated drama enjoys a stellar cast including Mrunal Thakur, Mouni Roy, Chunkey Panday, Maniesh Paul, Jimmy Shergill, Rakesh Bedi, Ali Asgar, Kubbra Sait, Rohit Saraf, Rajeev Khandelwal, Nitish Nirmal, and Sreeleela, along with others.

The title of the romantic-comedy-drama, “Hain Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hain” has been derived from the song “Ishq Sona Hai” from Dhawan's 1999 hit “Biwi No.1," starring Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor, and Sushmita Sen in the lead.

Produced by Ramesh Taurani under the banner of TIPS, the release date for “Hain Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hain” has not been disclosed yet.

She was last seen in the romantic action drama film “Retro” by Karthik Subbaraj. The film stars Suriya and Pooja in the lead roles.

In the film, Paarivel "Paari" Kannan, an orphan raised by a gangster, faces betrayal and a violent cult as he searches for his true origins, fulfils a prophecy, and tries to reunite with his lost love, Rukmini.

Pooja looks absolutely stunning in that Kanjivaram! 😍 The aubergine color suits her so well. As a South Indian myself, it makes me proud to see our traditional weaves getting such love from Bollywood stars. More power to our handloom industry!

While I appreciate Pooja promoting our culture, I wish she'd also mention the weavers who make these beautiful sarees. The Kanjivaram industry is struggling post-pandemic and needs more recognition for the artisans.

That saree must have cost a bomb! 😅 But seriously, it's refreshing to see actresses embracing traditional wear instead of just western outfits. Kanjivarams are timeless - my grandmother's collection still looks brand new after 40 years!

Looking forward to her new movie with Varun Dhawan! But honestly, I'm more impressed by her fashion choices than her acting skills. She carries traditional wear with such grace - hope to see more of this in Bollywood.

The gold zari work on that saree is breathtaking! My wedding saree was a similar Kanjivaram from my mother's collection. These sarees are not just clothing, they're heirlooms that carry generations of memories ❤️

As someone from Kanchipuram (where these sarees originate), I'm delighted to see the global recognition. But buyers should be careful - many shops sell fake "Kanjivarams" at premium prices. Always check for the pure silk mark!
