Glamor
He was watching ‘Devdas’ for the sixth time. “Can a married woman from an aristocratic background, look so sensuous, crossing the yard to meet her lover?” he sighed. “The magic emanates from the extra yards of fabric we added to the sari, to create the moonlight-in-motion look. Watch the blue one that took four months … Continue reading Glamor
