In Padmavati, Deepika wore a costume that costs approximately Rs 20 lakh and almost weighs 30 kg. She put it on everyday for 12-14 hours for almost 100 days with heavy ornaments and jewellery on the set and never complained about it.

According to a leading daily, Designer Rimple Narula is all praises for the actress as she described the entire process, “It would take Deepika minimum three hours to get into the look, but she would sit there patiently each time, without a single complaint. The costumes were heavy because, in order to maintain authenticity, the base textiles were further enhanced with traditional hand-crafted embroideries such as Mukke ka Kaam, Pakko Bharat, Salma and Sitara, Gokru and Dunka work; so the ghagras and odhnas that were made, tended to be quite heavy weight wise”.

This is not first time, that the actress donned a heavy lehenga. In ‘Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela’ in the song ‘Lahu Mooh Lag Gaya’, she wore a 30 kg lehenga. Further, Deepika wore a warrior armour weighting 20 kg for Bajirao Mastani.

Absolutely amazing, who else can’t wait for the movie?! #padmavati #heritage #indian #deepikapadukone #ranveersingh #shahidkapoor
