Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla go back in time to share just how they designed Shah Rukh Khan‘s chikankari outfit for one of the key scenes in Devdas.
‘Expressing a character through couture and craftsmanship requires a kind of brilliance that goes beyond talent.
‘Abu Sandeep persisted on dressing Devdas in white Chikan because to them, he was far from a black character. They wanted to express his heartbroken state through the pristine aura of Chikankari where hand-embroidery and minimal ornaments were thoughtfully used to convey his pride, rage and despair. Even specific washing techniques were employed to clearly reflect the freshness and luxury of Chikan on-screen.
‘A year later, Abu Sandeep were honoured with the National Award for Costume Design for their work in Devdas and Chikankari was a noteworthy part of their journey.’

Kareena Kapoor wishes Saif Ali Khan by posting then and now pictures, ‘Happy birthday to the love of my life. Parthenon 2007, Parthenon 2024. Who would have thought? As they say must keep growing which we did and quite well.’
