I was a big fan, and as it happens, my mama was staying in the same building as her and was invited to the same party. My mother always wore a sari and I remember draping saris on the dolls that I played with, borrowing fabrics from my mother. I was born and brought up in Bengaluru, so I did see many women wear saris but most of them wore pavadas. What was your relationship with saris as you were growing up?
But by the time I finally did, I realised I had fallen in love with this garment and have been for the last 28 years. I thought I would convince my mother-in-law. I used to hate wearing saris, it would take me 45 torturous minutes every morning to drape a sari and I would crave the comfort of kurtas. I got married into a family where I could only wear saris, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise! This was definitely something that he picked for me. But I do believe that some things are destined to happen and are planned by god.
I don’t quite know how to break down my journey. How did you get into the world of sari-draping? My Kolkata had a chat with the draper, who shared some behind-the-scenes secrets from A-lister fitting rooms and also explained why she loves coming home to Kolkata, no matter where she travels. It is sustainable, you don’t need to cut or stitch like any other garment, which makes it that much better,” says Jain.
