One of the highlights of her visit was her candid revelation about her own wardrobe. Sharing the story behind her much-admired saree collection, Kangana said people often ask her where she buys the elegant sarees she wears.

"I am very delighted to be here. As you know, when people used to meet me, they used to say that they like my acting a lot. They used to ask me where I get my sarees from. So, everybody is so curious about where I get my sarees from. I tell everybody that I directly get my sarees from the weavers," she said.

Kangana also spoke about the challenges faced by India's weaving community and stressed the need to extend greater respect and support to the artisans who preserve these centuries-old traditions.

"We have come to know about the struggles of the weavers and the respect that they deserve. We are trying our best for that. I would like to thank all of you for this initiative and especially for Handloom Day, which is being held on August 7," she added.

The Weaves of India Festival has been jointly organised by the Development Commissioner (Handlooms), Ministry of Textiles, and the Central Cottage Industries Corporation of India (CCIC). The exhibition is open to visitors until August 7, welcoming the public daily from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
