Indian/Western— What Sobhita Dhulipala Likes To Wear On A Regular Day

For Sobhita Dhulipala wearing Indian outfits is her “high”. However, she believes that Indian attire is simply not restricted to ethnic styles, it is more like a “mixed bag”.  “When you say Indian we tend to think only of ethnic styles but we have an incredible textile history and design history. There are so many brands that do beautiful prep. So, when you say Indian I don't think only sarees, I don't think only lehengas or salwar suits. I think denim, I think tailoring. To wear Indian is I think my high,” she said.
