“I did my own fashion”
When asked whether she had always been fashionable, the grandmother answered without hesitation. “Yes, I was, and I did my own fashion. I never went as per society,” she said.
She explained that she never believed in dressing according to trends. Instead, she focused on understanding what suited her personality and body type. “I did not follow any trends. I had my own way. With clothes and everything, I had my own ideas, fixed ideas, about what suits me, what looks nice on me. I listen to my heart,” she added.
Floral prints, linen and pure silk sarees
Talking about her wardrobe favourites, the grandmother shared that comfort and elegance have always gone hand in hand for her. She loves floral prints, light cotton, linen, and pure silk sarees, choosing fabrics that are both timeless and comfortable.
She also revealed another signature style element that has become part of her identity. “I love big sunglasses,” she said, admitting that oversized shades are one of her favourite accessories.
During the conversation, she was complimented in Marathi on one of her statement sunglasses and asked where she had bought them. With a smile, she proudly replied, “माझे सगळे स्पेक्स छान असतात,” which translates to, “All my glasses are beautiful.”
For the grandmother, true style has never been about keeping up with what’s trending. Instead, she believes fashion is deeply personal. Her message is simple: wear what makes you feel confident, choose clothes that genuinely suit you, and don’t be afraid to trust your own taste.
