List of Top 13 Saree Quotes By Celebs:

Check out our celebs announcing their love for the saree with full gusto:

1. Vidya Balan:

The powerful actress doesn’t shy away from flaunting her curves in a sari. “I enjoy the sari. I think it’s the sexiest garment ever. It shows you the right amount, it covers the right amount, it’s extremely versatile, it suits every body type, it suits every face.”

Another one from her:

“It’s a most natural way for me. I can tell people I can run in a saree and I can do five sequences in a saree. I can romance in a saree and I can do everything in a saree. For me, it’s a most versatile garment…it’s extremely sensuous and at the same time it is strong, there is an elegance and at the same time, it teases your imagination…It’s very powerful.”

One thing is true – that not only is Vidya Balan a sincere and whole-hearted sari lover, she makes no bones about her passion and commitment to this Indian garment.

Vidya Balan Quote

2. Bipasha Basu:

The actress is a true Bong at heart and for her sari love is first love. “If a girl wears a shirt and a skirt, does she become more sensuous? I think a girl in a sari is more sensuous than a girl in a skirt. In my opinion, a wet sari is the most sensuous.”

Bipasha Basu Quote

3. Gaurang Shah:

The designer feels that our celebrities have given the Indian handloom a fresh lease of life by choosing it as their go-to outfit for grand occasions. “Celebrity endorsement was absolutely what pushed the traditional handloom. In a country where we idolize celebrities, it was the best way to reach to the masses. But I have had celebrities who have come to me for the joy of wearing a saree. Kirron Kher started wearing my sarees when I wasn’t even a ‘designer’ and she came back to me for the happiness she felt in my sarees.” 

Do you know Gaurang’s passion to promote traditional handlooms has driven him to collaborate with more than 700 weavers from all over the country? Guess his A-list clientele? It includes Vidya Balan, Sonam Kapoor, Shruti Hassan, Chitrangadha Singh, and Malaika Arora.

5. Sabyasachi Mukherjee:

The ace designer found himself in the eye of a storm when he took his sari love to the next level. The renowned couturier said in his speech at Harvard University’s India Conference 2018 that “I think, if you tell me that you do not know how to wear a sari, I would say shame on you. It’s a part of your culture, (you) need to stand up for it.”

Sabyasachi Mukherjee Quote

6. Rajesh Pratap Singh:

The award-winning veteran designer is truly patriotic as he says “For me, saree is the perfect Indian garment. I decided that if I have to design Indian clothes, it will start and end with sarees and here I am with this collection.”

He feels that different types and forms of the sari celebrate the cultural diversity of our country. “I want every woman to have at least one saree in their wardrobe. In India, this beautiful garment has a special place. Like dialects, it changes from state to state and I wanted to bring four different techniques under one roof.” 

Rajesh Pratap Singh Quote

7. Rimzim Dadu:

Sari is not just a garment but a metaphor for the multi-tasking and multi-talented women of today. The designer says, “I feel women are strong and I feel the metal sarees, the steel wire sarees, are a good metaphor for strong yet sensitive.”

Rimzim Dadu Quote

8. Kajol:

Sari is the hottest garment all Indian women swear by to up their sensual appeal. Ask the actor and she says, “That’s what the sari is about. Everything is covered, yet a peep of an ankle can be a turn on for men.”

Kajol Quote

9. Shreya Ghoshal:

The songstress prefers to don the traditional attire while performing on stage. “I appreciate art in any form. So it applies to clothes as well. On stage, I think people prefer me in Indian outfits…in fact, it goes with the kind of songs I sing as well. Indianness in the form of a sari, or a chaniya choli or jeans with something interesting, matches my style of singing.”

Shreya Ghoshal Quote

10. Kareena Kapoor:

The Begum of Pataudi is one of the most influential style icons in the country. She has the star appeal to add oodles of glam to any outfit she wears but she strongly opines “I think a woman looks best in a sari.”

Kareena Kapoor Quote

11. Sonakshi Sinha:

The Sinha girl like many young girls from her generation loves to sport the saree but confesses that she needs help in draping it gracefully. “To be very honest, I cannot drape a saree myself. I have never draped one on my own, ever. But it has been done on me so many times, that now I have memorized all the steps, and if someone challenges me, I will surely be able to do it.”

Sonakshi Sinha Quote

Perhaps she can take inspiration from her mom Poonam Sinha who always manages to look the epitome of elegance in a saree.

12. Lakshmi Rebecca:

Lakshmi Rebecca Quote
