After serving looks in ombre sarees in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, actor Alia Bhatt turned heads with her fashion choice at the re-release screening of the Rekha-starrer Umrao Jaan on Thursday, June 26, 2025. The actor’s blush pink silk saree, in her own words, was an ode to Rekha’s look from Silsila, which also released in 1981, the same year as Umrao Jaan.
Alia, even in her makeup, recreated Rekha’s character, Chandni, from Yash Chopra’s Silsila, a take on modern relationships also featuring Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan.In the iconic blush of Silsila, Alia Bhatt pays homage to the many shades of Rekha – muse, mystery, and moment. A tribute woven in silk, as Umrao Jaan returns to the big screen. Because legends never go out of style. In custom @taruntahiliani couture,” the stylist wrote.
Wrapped in six yards of the simple yet elegant, blush pink silk saree with a floor-sweeping palla on the red carpet of the Umrao Jaan event, Alia was grace personifiedAn ode to a living legend… there never, was, is or will ever be another like you, ReMaa,” she captioned her post on Instagram.
