Ananya, who is also currently promoting her upcoming movie Kesari 2, expressed her gratitude on social media and explained what the brand means to her: “the essence of personal liberation, empowering one to boldly embrace their individuality with timeless elegance.”
In recent years, the fashion world has witnessed a growing affinity between iconic luxury maisons and Bollywood’s leading ladies—Sonam Kapoor with Dior, Alia Bhatt with Gucci, and Deepika Padukone gracing global campaigns for Louis Vuitton and Cartier.
