Deepika Padukone s wedding saree designer opens up about Sabyasachi controversy

MUMBAI – DeepVeer’s wedding pictures went viral all over the social media forums and people are in love with the couple’s candid shots, which were beyond expectations.

The sari Deepika wore for her wedding in Italy has been in the news and not just for the obvious reasons. The sari was from private label Advaya, started by K Radharaman.

Whereas, acclaimed fashion designer of India, Sabyasachi Mukherjee initially failed to mention that they had not designed the dress and mentioned it as “head-to-toe” in their label.

Radharaman, Deepika’s saree designer, says he has no harsh emotions for the designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee, who had failed to mention that both saris worn by DP — one for her Konkani wedding, and another for her Bengaluru reception — were designed by him.

However, he opened his heart against the dismissing credit on behalf of the entire design community. While sharing his feelings Radharaman stated “I do not and never did have any intention of being critical of Sabyasachi Mukherjee or anyone else.”

He further added, “I do not have any negative sentiment towards anyone and we did thank him publicly on social media for giving credit to us after we pointed the error to him. That said, when I was informed that another design label had claimed credit for my work, I felt obligated to speak up on behalf of the entire design community of which we are all a part of,” Radharaman said about his initial reaction when he got to know that the ace designer took credit for Deepika’s Konkani wedding look.

Deepika chose to celebrate her both special days in an Advaya Kanjeevaram sari.“Many celebrities, apart from Deepika, have bought Advaya saris from The House of Angadi. My family has been in the trade for 600 years – and began as court weavers to several royal families,” said Radharaman.

“My father has had the privilege of having several of his creations worn by great personalities including former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Maharani Gayatri Devi, Nargis Dutt among others,” he added.
