Mumbai, April 28 -- After drawing flak for her "mismatched" wedding look, Sania Mirza made amends at the reception held in husband Shoaib Malik's home town Sialkot, Pakistan, last Sunday. The resplendent beige and red sari that the tennis ace wore was obviously inspired by Aishwarya Rai's Bengali sari from the 'Dola re dola...'
song in the film Devdas.
Give her red
"The outfit was stunning and the colours worked perfectly for Sania. Her red lipstick and jewellery lent a Bengali touch to her get-up," says designer Nikhil Mehra, who had designed Sania's outfit for her reception in India.
Designer Reynu Tandon says, "Everyone wearing a Bengali-South Indian sari of this kind, and in these colours, looks the same. Neeta Lulla had done Aishwarya's sari in georgette, Sania's designer has used a different material." Nothing similar Designer Nida Mahmood says it's a nice traditional combination. "But barring the colour of the sari, there's nothing similar in the look." While Sania uped her style quotient, there were glitches galore at the bash. Uninvited guests and security mismanagement marred the reception at the Sialkot hockey ground, forcing the hassled newly-weds to leave the function before it was over. Upset, Sania's family, from India, also left for Lahore early. Eyewitnesses said hundreds of people showed up for the reception, many of whom hadn't been invited.
