At an iftaar social gathering held in Mumbai lately, actors Sayani Gupta and Tamannaah Bhatia have been seen twinning, slightly coincidentally, in white sarees designed by the identical designers. While Bollywood trend police are identified to pit actors sporting the identical outfits, the actor duo had a superb chuckle on it, and even posted selfies flaunting their six yards.
Speaking to us, Gupta says with amusing, “It isn’t intended to be a solid answer to anyone. I don’t even know who the fashion police are, and so, I don’t really care about them.”
Talking about how she isn’t an enormous fan of trend face-offs, she elaborates, “It’s unnecessary and stupid. As society, we’re always commenting. We think it’s our birthright to comment on clothes that women wear. But other people’s approval or disapproval doesn’t make any difference.”
Recalling her expertise of bumping into Bhatia on the occasion, the Paggalit (2021) actor says, “When we saw that we were wearing the same outfit, it actually added to the fun and joy of meeting each other. We both were happy that we’ve the same choices and aesthetics. And our chat wasn’t about what we were wearing.”
Gupta provides, “We spoke about work and our common friends and the fact that we should get together and spend some time. It was the first time that we were meeting each other properly. So, twinning was a great ice-breaker.”
According to the 36-year-old, twinning provides to a way of sisterhood shared amongst girls. “Twinning’s such a big thing these days. Even friends twin and couples decide on wearing similar prints. I share my outfits with my friends. We’ve bought the same clothes for each other so that we can wear them when we’re meeting. It adds to what we’re feeling at the moment. I cherish the moment,” Gupta ends.
