00:26I think they really liked the fact that this is an old vintage textile
00:31which cannot be used like a sari
00:34because it was torn from many places.
00:37And to give it a new life and a new form and silhouette
00:42was very exciting for them.
00:44And I think they were able to compare that outfit with their own journey
00:52and with that, they made a mark.

01:03Priyanka made the fittings into a breeze.
01:05She was effortless.
01:07I think she made me feel extremely comfortable
01:10with my inputs on how she can break it
01:13and how she can play around with it.

01:28It takes around 5-6 days to make a colourful outfit.
01:36But it took us a lot of time to think and craft the right textile for this outfit.
01:47I think overall, it took us 10-15 days to figure out
01:52what exactly the right textile should be and what the right colours should be.
01:56And to make it, we spent at least 4 full nights
02:03to make sure that the sari is strong enough
02:08and not torn from anywhere.
02:10We did a lot of handwork and embroidery.
