Sexy! Ridhima Pandit Oozes Fashion In Black Sheer Saree, Sets Internet Ablaze
Last Updated: Ridhima Pandit stuns in a black saree and celebrates her birthday by pledging to donate her eyes. Inspired by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, she shares her decision with Hindustan Times. Ridhima Pandit drops a series of pictures that have left the internet buzzing as she turns up the heat. In the pictures, Ridhima Pandit looked stunning in a black six-yard drape styled gracefully to accentuate her body. The sheer saree features minimal detailing with a thin golden border. She paired her saree with an elbow-length blouse featuring a deep V-neck style that adds a touch of glamour and boldness to her appearance. Ridhima drapes the saree in a relaxed, open-pallu style, letting the fabric flow naturally over her shoulder. This styling choice works well with the breezy seaside setting, creating a look that's both effortless and chic. For accessories, she's kept it minimal with statement earrings. The lack of heavy jewelry lets the saree's design and her natural beauty stand out. For the makeup, Ridhima chose to keep it fresh with minimal touches. For the eyeshadow, she chose a palette of browns which, without standing out too much, elevated her look. Fluttery lashes, peachy-nude lipstick, and minimal blush finish the look. Ridhima turned a year older on June 25, and instead of anything grand, she chose to celebrate her day with a meaningful act by pledging to donate her eyes. The Bahu Hamari Rajnikant star took to social media to share her heartfelt decision. In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Ridhima opened up about what influenced her decision. 'I'm deeply passionate about giving back to the community in any way possible, and this is something I wanted to do since I was a kid," she shared. Ridhima also revealed that her inspiration came years ago from actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who had pledged to donate her eyes. 'As a kid, I remember being impressed. Inspired by her example, I finally completed the formalities and made the pledge," Ridhima said. Ridhima Pandit is a well-known face in the television world, known for her roles in hit shows like Bahu Hamari Rajnikant and Bharti Singh's Khatra Khatra Khatra. She has also been a part of reality shows like Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi and the first season of Bigg Boss OTT. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
