It is evident that Bollywood forms a strong influence in fashion.

More so, the sari is always a great canvas to have everything highlighted to show the versatility of this beautiful garment.

Certain saree styles became a synonym for the actresses wearing them:

• Rekha's Kanjeevaram Silk Sarees in films like "Silsila" simply ooze traditional elegance.
• Sridevi's Blue Saree in "Mr. India" made the rain dance sequence sensuous.
• Deepika Padukone's Contemporary Drapes in "Chennai Express" wove the past seamlessly into the present.
