Karan Johar recalls tying Kajol`s saree in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge as an AD, and insists that it is the best choice for any fashion event

Karan Johar elaborates on Alia Bhatt`s saree-clad look in RRKPK
Alia Bhatt’s saree-clad look in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani has made quite a style statement. Before the character of Rani Chatterjee in this film, another onscreen journalist whom Karan Johar dressed in a saree was Rani Mukerji in Bombay Velvet.
Both the characters, Karan says, were inspired by one person. “This Rani and that Rani are both derived from a member of the media called Poonam Saxena, who wrote my book. She was always in a saree and I found that wonderful. I love the saree per se. I think that women look beautiful in a saree. In fact, my advice to many people who get it mostly wrong on red carpets, please wear a saree. It is the most beautiful gift that our culture has given you. Why can’t you just wear a stunning saree with an absolutely beautiful blouse?”
