There are women who wear saris.
And there is: Neena Gupta In A Sari.
That's a Bharatiya phenomenon in its own uber-class.
Neena could write a guide on how to do justice to a sari -- when she dons one she invariably brings out the bewitchery factor of a sari by choosing well, draping it without even a micro fold out of place and, most importantly, carrying it with both elan and matchless elegance.
Badhaai Ho! Neena.
If you want to go the traditional route for your next social outing, Neena will give you enough reasons to gush over the eternal drape.
Collect a few fail-proof tips on achieving Neena Gupta grace in a sari:

The intricate choker that adds a whimsical touch.
