Yash Chopra is the man who redefined Hindi cinema. Her films have been instrumental in shaping the genre of romance in Bollywood and the portrayal of women in films. Till date, many fashion statements take inspiration from Yash Chopra’s films, especially the chiffon sarees. The masterpiece of his films were the lead heroines looking resplendent in chiffon sarees, pops of colours, picturesque frames and soulful music.

Such is the power of his films that it has inspired many fashion trends as well. Remember the movie Chandni, where Sridevi was decked up in a beautiful yellow chiffon saree and ran across lush green meadows? Well, the simple saree is still a symbol of romance and grace. Let’s take a look at the actresses who wore chiffon sarees in Yash Chopra’s films.

Sridevi

We cannot talk about chiffon sarees without mentioning Sridevi. In the film Chandni (1989), we see the actress dancing to the song ‘Tere Mere Hothon Pe’ dressed in an ethereal yellow chiffon saree in green pastures with the Swiss Alps in the background.

In Silsila, Rekha surprised everyone with her chiffon sarees. With minimal make-up and long hair, Rekha looked ethereal in this traditional outfit. In the film, she wore Six Yards of Grace multiple times, but the one look that stood out to us the most was her red saree. While having lunch with Amit (Amitabh Bachchan), Chandni wore a breathtaking red saree and paired it with a halter-neck blouse, looking every bit charismatic.

Juhi Chawla

If you thought that chiffon sarees were a hit only with Sridevi and Rekha, then you are wrong. The next generation actress- Juhi Chawla fits seamlessly into Yash Chopra’s leading lady as she looked ravishing in Darr (1993). The director collaborated with designer Neeta Lulla to break away from Juhi’s girl-next-door look and make it more contemporary. With this, Juhi became a trendsetter as she was seen wearing a chiffon saree with trendy blouse designs, western cuts and off-shoulder details.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan worked in chiffon sarees in the film Mohabbatein. Whenever Raj Aryan (Shah Rukh Khan) thinks of Megha (Aishwarya), she comes to the fore and we are in love with all her pastel shades. She brought a certain charm and subtle look that impressed Bollywood lovers.
