Everyone on the internet was eagerly waiting for Ranveer Singh-Deepika Padukone wedding pictures, mainly to see what the stars were wearing on their big day.
As expected, the couple was dressed in Sabyasachi outfits for all the functions and the designer, on his social media platforms proudly credited him for styling them 'head to toe' in his signature ensembles.
As per recent reports, the red and gold sari that Deepika wore for the Konkani wedding ceremony wasn't a Sabyasachi piece. Reportedly, Deepika's mother had bought the sari from Angadi Galleria, a silk store in Bangalore. Fashion journalist Shefali Vasudev brought this information to the notice of Sabyasachi through an Instagram post.
In her post, she wrote: "Deepika Padukone's Kanjeevaram red gold wedding sari worn by her for the Mangalorean wedding ceremony with a Sabyasachi veil and jewellery was an Advaya sari from the House of Angadi, Bangalore" says Radharaman K, the store founder in an email to @thevofashion. As per tradition, the bride wears a sari given by the mother and the red gold sari is a real zari Kanjeevaram. "The body design is the Gandaberunda (two headed bird) the mythological figure that is also represented as the coat of arms of the Mysore Maharaja and subsequently Karnataka," adds Radharaman. He added that the veil was not theirs and the sari had been duly purchased from their store by Deepika herself along with another sari and there was no commercial or personal arrangement behind it. When I brought it to the notice of @sabyasachiofficial with Radharaman's permission, the designer instantly responded that it was indeed given by the bride's mother to them. They trimmed and styled it. @sabyasachiofficial also added with grace and clarity about credit where due that while the sari's details were not known earlier, once the store name has been brought to their notice and after it is verified, it must be rightfully credited.
Upon being informed about this, Sabyasachi himself posted a clarification on Instagram crediting Angadi Galleria.
While some appreciated the gesture, many others trolled him for taking credit for someone else’s creation.
