She is the forever gorgeous, perennially stylish 'chechi supra' for her adoring fans
A darling of the South Indian film industry, who has come through a battle with cancer, actor and singer Mamta Mohandas is all about impeccable dressing, usually in a thoughtfully-selected sari that transforms her into the quintessential Indian Woman.
She prefers handloom weaves and the fashion woke should sign up with her for a masterclass in appearing lustrous in a swathe of fabric as versatile as a sari.
Her wardrobe is a jubilant splash of desi sunshine and the temple jewellery, she complements it with, adds just the right amount of pizzazz to every outfit.
The season's shiniest jewels are not required.

No one can do it quite like her.
'Never be afraid to align yourself in a position of power,' she says as she knocks out her followers in peacock blue with that coy backward glance.
Amma Mohandas makes an even more lasting impression in a sari.
While pooch Gucci Mohandas makes usse se bhi barhkar lasting impression in cuteness.
BTW, how many of you mistook her for Deepika Padukone in this pic?
