The bandhgala adds an edge to his style and showcases modern India.
On the other hand, Upasana Kamineni Konidela complemented Ram's look with perfection in a traditional yet elegant Jayanti Reddy sustainable customised silk saree made using hand woven silk, of spun fabric, created from recycled scraps.
