Actor and MP Kangana Ranaut attended Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta's Hariyali Teej celebration in the capital. She wore a lime green silk saree, likely a Kanjeevaram, with a coral-pink pallu featuring tree and bird patterns. Traditional gold, pearl and emerald jewellery completed her look. Ranaut shared photos on Instagram, calling it her first Teej festival and praising Rekha didi's warmth.

The source notes the saree's exact weave is unconfirmed. Ranaut has been championing Indian handlooms and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat', often wearing textiles from her Himachal constituency. Earlier this year she wore a coat woven by local women under the Kullvi Whims initiative.

Fashion and politics mix easily, but some see only a photo-op. Kangana Ranaut's saree is indeed a statement for handlooms and 'Vocal for Local', yet the risk is turning tradition into a prop. Critics on both sides miss the point: her consistent spotlight on weavers, from Kullvi to Kanjeevaram, deserves quiet respect, not hype. Will her constituency's artisans see tangible support beyond her Instagram?
