Shilpa Shetty Kundra's Timeless Dhadkan Look

Mumbai: Shilpa Shetty Kundra, a name synonymous with style and elegance in Bollywood, recently revealed her most cherished look from her illustrious career. In a candid interview on The Right Angle Season 2, produced by Gautam Thakker Films, the actress chose her classic and graceful avatar from the 2000 film, Dhadkan.

While Shilpa has graced the silver screen in numerous fashionable roles over the decades, her choice of Dhadkan highlights a look that was both culturally significant and personally impactful. "Dhadkan was the perfect mix of classy and massy," she shared. The film’s costumes, designed by industry stalwarts Manish Malhotra and Vikram Phadnis, created a distinctive style that was both elegant and modest. "I was dressed up to my neck, no cleavage was showing, yet they still made me look so glamorous," Shilpa recalled. This approach to fashion, which prioritized elegance over overt skin show, resonated with audiences and became a "national talking point."

Beyond the fashion, Shilpa credits the film's success to its timeless appeal. The enduring popularity of Dhadkan's songs and the positive reception of her character have ensured that the film remains a topic of conversation even after a quarter of a century. "The songs were so popular, the clothes were amazing, and the role was so well-received that even after 25 years, people still talk about it," she said. This reflection underscores her gratitude for a project that not only enhanced her career but also left a lasting mark on Indian pop culture.

Shilpa’s fashion journey is a testament to her versatility and her ability to evolve with the times while maintaining a unique personal style. As she prepares for her upcoming pan-Indian film, KD: The Devil, her reflection on Dhadkan serves as a poignant reminder that true style isn't about fleeting trends. It's about creating a look that is both memorable and timeless, capturing a magic that lives on long after the credits roll. Her enduring grace and iconic status in the industry continue to inspire many, proving that some styles, much like classic films, never fade.
