The inauguration of the 2015 Madhya Pradesh Tourism and Handicrafts exhibition at Jehangir Art gallery in Mumbai on 23rd June was graced by an eminent personality, the beautiful Indian actress Vidya Balan. For someone who has always shown a preference and love for traditional Indian sarees, it was only apt that Ms. Balan was invited as a special guest.

In fact, as the actress disclosed, the lovely red and yellow silk sari that she wore for the event was gifted by the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister’s wife. And as always, Vidya looked gorgeous and picture perfect in the sari. She had styled the look with jhoomkas (earrings) and bangles from Amrapali, a braided hair-do and a Bengali style orange-toned bindi.

The actress spoke at length about the MP exhibition, saying they have such a wide selection of sarees ranging from beautiful chanderi and maheshwari to pure cotton fabric that it will take a lot of time to try and see the whole collection. She also added that she accepted their invitation to grace the inaugural without a second thought since she was very fond of sarees and often travelled to different places in search of them.
