Deepti Sadhwani On Her Orange Outfit

The actress revealed, "Initially, I was confused whether I should wear an Indian or an international designer. But, I was sure that at least one outfit I will wear of an Indian designer to promote our country. So, I was thinking about big designers, but I will be honest, big designers were not ready to collaborate with me because I had never attended Cannes, and they were like 'Is it fake or real? Will she actually going to attend Cannes?'. So, we were trying with big designers but it didn't happen. Then me and my best friend, we went scouting for outfits and we realised, why can't we make it?"

"Approximately 45 days before Cannes we started making, we thought in 10-15 days the outfit will be ready. We got a material of 100 meter it got over, we got another 100 meter that also got over, and we got another 100 meter from which 80-90 meter was used. So for design we were confused, but I was clear that I want a long trail for the first look because it is eye catchy for the people. Earlier, there were two people working on the outfit, but later 4-5 people were working on it day and night, and just before 1 hour to the flight that outfit got completed," Deepti added.

Well, Deepti has surely become the talk of the town, and she revealed in our interview that post Cannes she has been getting a lot of offers.
