Designer Manish Malhotra just shared a heartwarming story on Instagram about a special royal blue pashmina saree that connects Bollywood icons Sridevi and her daughter Janhvi Kapoor. Janhvi wore the same saree to the premiere of her upcoming film Homebound, turning heads and honoring her late mother’s legacy in the process.
This isn’t just any outfit—it’s an heirloom piece that Sridevi first draped back in 2017 for Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli’s wedding reception. Manish calls it "really special" and "coming full circle." He posted side-by-side photos of Sridevi looking regal in the saree and Janhvi rocking it at the event, showcasing the beautiful bond between mother and daughter.
The saree shines with intricate gold tilla work and chinar motifs, celebrating centuries-old Kashmiri craftsmanship that Manish has championed for years. In his caption, he wrote: "This one is really special to me… the one and only #Sridevi … an icon in every way and so close to my heart… first wore this heirloom royal blue pashmina saree in 2017. @janhvikapoor wore the same saree for the premiere of @homeboundthefilm a heartfelt tribute to her mother."
Manish went on to highlight how Janhvi’s choice goes beyond fashion: "Showcasing gold tilla and chinar motifs, it celebrates centuries of Kashmiri craft… In Janhvi’s choice, the saree is more than clothing… it highlights sustainable fashion… it is a living legacy of love, style, and heritage passed from mother to daughter."
At the Homebound special screening in Mumbai, Janhvi looked absolutely stunning in the royal blue saree. She paired it with heavy gold jewelry and a sleek bun hairstyle, channeling her mom’s timeless elegance. Janhvi even brought along her boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya’s family for support at the event.
Fans are loving this touching tribute to Sridevi, and Homebound hits theaters on September 26—mark your calendars for what promises to be an emotional ride.
