's engagement celebration.
Held in Lucknow on June 4, the event was a star-studded affair but it was Priya's refined sartorial choice that quietly stole the spotlight.
One of India's youngest MPs at just 26, Priya Saroj, who is also rumoured to be engaged to Indian cricketer Rinku Singh, chose a striking black-and-gold saree for the occasion. Forgoing heavy embellishments or trend-driven drama, her look was a graceful homage to textile-forward fashion rooted in Indian heritage.
The saree featured a harmonious blend of intricate floral and geometric motifs in luminous gold, woven across a deep black base. Instead of pairing it with an ornate blouse, she opted for a sleek, solid black piece with a matching golden border — a styling decision that kept the overall look clean, classic, and quietly impactful. A single-strand pearl necklace served as her only accessory, adding just the right amount of old-world charm.

Her hair, worn loose in a side part, further echoed the effortless, no-fuss aesthetic.
In a world that often chases sparkle, Priya's look reminded us of the beauty of craftsmanship. It was less about grabbing attention and more about commanding it through thoughtfulness, restraint, and authenticity. The choice to wear a textile-led saree, rather than a sequin-heavy or pre-stitched version, placed the spotlight squarely on the rich legacy of Indian handlooms.
Her appearance invites a larger reflection: must saree fashion always lean into contemporary silhouettes or surface embellishments to feel modern? Absolutely not. A handwoven Jamdani, a Kanjivaram, or a Banarasi drape can look just as current, if not more impactful, when styled with intention. In fact, many traditional weaves offer a fluidity, translucence, and complexity of design that rival the trendiest tissues or organzas on the market today.
Priya Saroj's look wasn't just stylish, it was a love letter to Indian textiles. It served as a gentle nudge to fashion lovers to dig deeper, explore heritage fabrics, and embrace the kind of elegance that never goes out of style.

When Raj Kapoor predicted that Dilip Kumar would pursue acting: ‘You should go into films, we both will go into films'
The camaraderie between actors Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor dates back to their early years, long before they became titans of Indian cinema. Not only did the two work in the same industry and support each other throughout their careers, but their connection began in childhood, rooted in a shared heritage and deep mutual respect. In an old interview with Lehren Retro, Dilip reminisced about their childhood in Peshawar and how Raj Kapoor was instrumental in encouraging him to pursue acting. In the interview, Dilip Kumar said, 'We come from the same town. I was born in Peshawar, he was born in Peshawar. Our families knew each other. And he was the one who always used to say, when we used to play the game of soccer, he was good goalkeeper and a very good referee, particularly when we used to play against British army teams he used to assert himself… all as a little boy. So he used to tell me you go into films, we both will go into films. But I said no, because that was not the thing in those times you would aspire to do. So I used tell him that you go, your father also does the same, so you should follow his footsteps.' Also Read | Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor asked Jawaharlal Nehru about his relationship with Lady Mountbatten; he 'blushed' and said, 'I love all these stories about me' Years later, when Dilip Kumar visited a film set for the first time, it was Raj Kapoor who recognized him immediately, reaffirming a moment he had seemingly foreseen. Recalling that meeting in the same interview, Dilip said, 'He said I told you you will be here,' describing Raj's reaction with evident fondness. Reflecting further on their bond, the actor added, 'We had a lovely relationship.' Despite being close, it may come as a surprise to many that the two legends only acted together in one film: Andaz. Released in 1949, the movie was both a critical and commercial success, becoming a milestone in Hindi cinema.
