While most stars stick to western outfits, what with the International Indian Film Academy Awards being the international face of Hindi film industry honours, we get the occasional breather when a celebrity or two decide to flaunt their ethnic roots on the red carpet.
The Train actress Geeta Basra looked breathtaking in her multi-strand blouse and yellow sari at the award show's 2007 edition in the UK.
