Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor has died after a two-year-long battle with cancer. The 67-year-old actor was admitted to H N Reliance hospital, where he breathed his last on the morning of 30 April. Rishi was not only a phenomenal actor, charismatic personality, a powerhouse of energy but also a style icon. He changed the face of fashion in India with movies like Bobby and Chandni.

To remember this evergreen actor, who ruled the hearts of three generations, fashion influencer Monish Chandan lists his five iconic looks from different movies.

Bobby: We couldn’t take our eyes off when he wore tuxedo blazer, striped ties and turtleneck tees. Also, his pastel striped polyester button-up shirt paired with purple trouser and vintage shades are still in vogue.

Karz: The blingy pop star, dancing to the tunes of Om Shanti Om, will always be remembered by his fans.

Chandni: After the success of ‘Chandni’, abstract floral and multicoloured sweaters became a trend in 1980’s. Rishi Kapoor rose to prominence for his acting potential and of course, his sense of style.

Rafu Chakkar: Rishi Kapoor experimented with single-breasted checked red and white blazer and it just looked phenomenal.

Agneepath: The 2012 hit Agneepath saw him in the role of Rauf Lala. Kapoor got under the skin of his character in every way- acting, dialect and looks. He wore gold zari embroidery brocade to make his character look real and believable.

Though Rishi Kapoor has left for the heavenly adobe, he will always remain an important part of Indian film history.

This season of Bigg Boss not only brought back Indian television’s lost TRPs with high entertainment quotient but also gave viewers various other interesting aspects to discuss – one of these being the dressing styles of contestants.

Monish Chandan, a well-known fashion and lifestyle influencer, says “Apart from delivering drama and entertainment on the show, all the 13 contestants have also set some high fashion goals and targets. From Rashmi to Siddharth, every participant showed a distinct sense of style and fashion which wasn’t just trendy but also comfortable. For example, Rashmi Desai’s winter collection was loved by fashionistas. From the grey knitted sweaters to the oversized jackets, she nailed every look that she carried.”

“Asim Riaz’s denim outfits were another hit among the fashion lovers. Specific attires like Shefali Jariwala’s pearl white dress and Shefali Bagga’s weekend collar dress were hightlights of the 13th season. People also loved how Shehnaaz Gill rocked the Punjabi look with traditional attires and heavy jewellery.”

He further stated that Mahira Sharma’s quirky fashion style and Paras Chabbra’s trendy joggers, which he was often seen sporting in the house, looked super-fabulous. How can we miss on Siddharth Shuka’s casual outfits that gave out a very breezy vibe.”

“Despite all the fights, controversies and drama, contestants managed to keep their fashion game intact,” added Monish.

Rated as one of the top 15 Indian fashion bloggers, Monish loves exploring his country and befriending the foreign countries. He is also an amateur chef and loves to keep his followers updated of the hottest fashion trends.

Are you still trying to find a common ground between high heels and the six yards of a saree? Do you still secretly pray to make it to the work desk without tumbling on the saree pallu or twisting your ankle in those heels?

Let me toss a million dollar question to all you out there!

Why wearing a linen saree means a bad body posture throughout the day and you arched over, tending to sore foot muscles, by the end of it? When a saree is reinventing itself and has ‘rebooted’ to a version 2.0 for style and comfort, why shouldn’t its accessories be? When you will stop being at the receiving end of fashion stereotypes?

Why are you not wearing a saree with boots or sneakers already? What is stopping you?

Chances are your grandmother and mother is already wearing sneakers with the linen sarees for an evening stroll. Look around you can already see so many elderly women casually strolling around in the malls, in the parks and heck, everywhere! But that’s elderly women. Not you, the fashionista!

Oh, wait, nope, our leading ladies of linen wearing in Bollywood and stylists are shifting the paradigm too and are now the crusader of convenient fashion for women! They are all for traditions and ethnic clothing minus all the drama!

It is functionality and fashion- rolled in together! And the best part is you don’t have to wait for a designer or a fashion store to come up with a plan for you. You can do it right away. Anyway, when it takes a herculean effort to find dresses with pockets, reinventing a saree drape in each aspect, especially convenience, doesn’t look like a priority of your favourite fashion designer, it seems.

But why even worry, when you have some amazing ladies to show you the way and tell that how having a choice can be so liberating!  Finally, debunking the myth that a linen saree doesn’t need to be styled in a certain way. When you can pair it up with a crop top, a t-shirt, a denim jacket, with a legging or a sharara, you can definitely choose boots or sneakers instead of those ungodly stilettos!

If you still need some convincing, we have eyewitnesses ready for you, who needs no introduction in the style department! Take a cue or two from these style divas, who are making linen sarees trendy and effortless- one drape at a time!

Sneak it like Kangana!

Kangana Ranaut is the queen of Bollywood and Fashion world. She can often be spotted nailing the airport looks in linen sarees and sneakers! She looks so comfortable and cool and every bit stylish!

Pull it off like Rekha!

Rekha and her Kanjivaram sarees is a pair made in heaven. If she is sporting a pair of sports shoes with her saree, you better take our words on it! This gorgeous woman was seen stepping out of an airport, like a whiff of fresh air that acknowledged convenience over style and a personal choice over fashion faux pas.

Smash it up like Sonam!

When it comes to fashion, Sonam Kapoor has seen it all. Be it sustainable fashion or the evolving or devolving side of it, she rocks it all. She is a real delight in a linen saree and boots! And who couldn’t relate to her folding the saree at least two inches above from ankles!

So, next time, when you are looking for some saree inspiration, look for texture, embellishment, embroidery, print, fabric and whatnots but prioritise your convenience and comfort above them all! Don’t let social stereotype stop you from wearing a trendy linen saree the way you want it!

Not just at the shooting, you can also spot them sporting the stylish dungarees when they are out. The trend is getting highly popular not among the actresses but also among the common masses.

Be it the simple yet stylish look in Kick or the superhot look in Housefull 3, the lady knows how to set every eye on her.
