When Rekha gifted Kangana Ranaut a stunning gold and black Kanjeevaram saree and called her 'daughter'

In a memorable throwback moment, veteran star Rekha once grabbed attention for her elegance and generosity when she gifted a beautiful silk sari to Kangana Ranaut. Known for her love of traditional weaves, Rekha’s thoughtful gesture became widely talked about, especially when Ranaut draped the saree for a high-profile star studded 2019’s Marathi Taraka event in Mumbai attended by the legendary actress herself.

Rekha's striking appearance at the event

Wearing a gold-and-black sari chosen by Rekha, Kangana Ranaut made a strong style statement at the event, radiating grace and confidence. She completed her look with a neatly styled bun adorned with flowers, paired with statement jewellery from Anjali Bhimrajka Fine Jewels and embroidered footwear by Fizzy Goblet. The overall styling struck a perfect balance between classic and contemporary.





Rekha’s admiration for Kangana was reflected in her heartfelt words during the occasion. The veteran actress reportedly said that if she had a daughter, she would have been like Kangana. The emotional remark added a personal touch to the moment, highlighting the warmth between the two actors.

Rekha’s Signature Style




At the same event, Rekha stayed true to her iconic fashion sense, wearing a classic gold Kanjeevaram sari. She accessorised with a traditional gold choker, matching earrings, and her signature floral bun—once again reinforcing her timeless appeal.




This wasn’t the first time Rekha expressed her affection through such gestures. She had earlier gifted elegant silk saris to Deepika Padukone after the success of ‘Bajirao Mastani’ and ‘Padmaavat’. Deepika later wore one of those saris to a public appearance, impressing many with her refined look.




While both Kangana and Deepika carried their gifted saris beautifully, Rekha’s effortless elegance in traditional attire continues to remain unmatched. Her enduring association with saris and her graceful presence make her a true style icon.
