Janhvi Kapoor who is all set to win audiences hearts with her upcoming film, 'Mr and Mrs Mahi' in the end of the month was recently seen promoting her film in Varanasi. She donned a beautiful saree! But here's what was really unique about it!
At the Ganga Aarti, with co-star Rajkumar Rao, she was seen wearing a metallic light blue saree that has delicate warli painting that portrays the cricket stadium and the evolution of the cricket bat is highlighted flanked by the foundational cricket jargon!

Describing the look, stylist Ami Patel wrote, "A traditional kanjivaram saree with a hand painted cricket detail. The pallu depicts a batsman scoring a boundary in a full stadium, 1983 when India won he World Cup, in the traditional warli style of painting. The evolution of the cricket bat is also highlighted flanked by the foundational cricket jargon".
