Seems like PC is wearing something similar as the the person in the image...

Besides, there has been no news about PC terming her ex as her favourite, aiming for her ex's lips in front of paps or even posting videos of dancing with her ex...

So that way PC any day is more sanskaari than... you know who!!!

OT: The cover borders more on vulgar than sensual, even for and by PC....

Yuckkk

I like what she is wearing... she looks damn hot...

Sanskaari and Chic

Sarees in India were initially worn without a blouse or a petticoat - there was only a breast band called a ‘Pratidhi’, which was only worn by upper-class women. The culture of wearing blouses came from the British, where the torso of the gown was copied and blouses made.

The bra wasn’t always part of the Indian wardrobe. In fact, ancient Indian paintings and sculptures depict women as topless. The first endemic breast-wrangling garment, the choli, dates to the reign of the eponymous Chola Kingdom, when women wrapped unstitched cloth tightly around their breasts to flatten them and keep them small. During the Vijayanagara Empire that followed, the kanchuka – a tightly fitted bodice – was popular, and throughout the 1300s, there were tailors who specialized in these tight fitting garments.

At the same time, in Kerala, the covering of breasts was closely tied to caste, and lower caste women were forbidden from covering their breasts, until the Channar Revolt which granted them the right to do so, while women in Bengal regularly wore sarees without blouses. It was only with the arrival of the British that the traditional saree blouse as we know it today became a staple in women’s wardrobes.

Alia would have been a better choice.

As if Google and BBC weren't enough, people are now quoting huffpost for info regarding saaris and blouse😆
