The mother of two, who has been garnering followers for her clean lifestyle choices, was lauded for her contribution for promoting Ayurveda on social media. “Ayurveda is the power of Indian knowledge and tradition pulsating through our body everyday. The power of nature, nutrition and balance,” she wrote on her Instagram. Rajput Kapoor opted for the said pink anarkali for this special occasion from one of her go-to designers, Ridhi Mehra.
“Mira’s outfit, Posie, is a beautifully silk ruched anarkali drenched in a lovely light onion pink hue. The bodice is delicately embroidered with floral threadwork. The look is completed with a net dupatta. This sublime masterpiece is from our couture collection ‘Beginnings’. With Indian couture at its finest, ‘Beginnings’ is a glamorous collection that embraces modernity, femininity and liberty in its most pristine form. The entire collection exhibits rich, pampering fabrics such as silk, tulle and organza,” revealed Mehra.
Instead of loading up on chunky jewels, Mira Rajput Kapoor wore just a pair of statement chaandbali earrings to accessorise her Ridhi Mehra anarkali.
