Shabana Azmi shared a still from the movie, Suraag, which also starred Sanjeev Kumar in the lead. In the pic, she seemed to be standing in a plane and holding a newspaper. Draped in an exquisite sari in the picture, this sari of hers reminded us of our mother's saris. And guess what, Shabana Azmi's sari was not by a designer but it was her mother's (Shaukat Kaifi) saree. She captioned the picture as, "From Suraag, I used to pinch my mother's sari even then".

Draped in a Nivi style, it seemed like an orange and red silk sari and she looked absolutely graceful in it. Her sari featured an intricately-patterned border and she teamed it with a checkered half-sleeved blouse, which complemented her sari. Her jewellery looked modern with a black choker neckpiece and red bangles. Shabana Azmi's makeup was also lightly done but the red bindi accentuated her look. The middle-parted bun completed her look. In a way, this look was absolutely in tune with the modern minimal style sensibilities but of course there was a vintage touch to it. Inspired enough to drape your mother's sari? Let us know that in the comment section.
