She spoke about designing the Miss Universe gown and how her transition improved the process.
“There is a certain expectation from Miss India at an International pageant. She has to look elegant, exquisite and the gown needs to look delicate and dainty but at the same time powerful, strong, which incidentally my brand has become now after I have transitioned into a woman.”
Saisha also shared the glimpse of the effort that went into creating this beautiful masterpiece.
Before Harnaaz, Saisha Shinde has created outfits for celebrities like Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Taapsee Pannu, Anushka Sharma, Katrina Kaif and Madhuri Dixit, among many others.
Dear Saisha, hope you will scale new heights and make us prouder! Thanks for inspiring us to be our own hero! You Go Girl!
