Nia Sharma spills beans on handmade 'Suhagan Chudail' outfit for her upcoming show on COLORS!

COLORS' upcoming fantasy-thriller-romance 'Suhagan Chudail' warns everyone to protect their loved ones from a dangerous enchantress who prowls the night. In this gripping saga, Nishigandha, a chudail (played by Nia Sharma) uses the power of Solah Shringaar to lure men into marriage and sacrifice them for immortality until she is challenged by Deeya (Debchandrima Singha Roy), who shields the chudail’s final target Moksh (Zayn Ibad Khan) with her love. The tale of eternal love versus a dark force is making waves ahead of its premiere thanks to its exciting promos, and the leading lady Nia Sharma’s sizzling avatar. The stunning actress is turning heads having pulled out all the stops with her head-to-toe couture. Poised to be known as the signature look of the chudail, the exquisite red creation she dons boasts of elaborate stone-work and delicate embroidery.

In an exciting detail straight from Nia herself, the show's stylist Annuradha Khuranna has custom-created the star's striking red ensemble entirely by hand - from the ornate blouse and lehenga down to the statement jewellery pieces. No off-the-rack outfits for this on-screen enchantress! The signature outfit is the result of numerous fittings and experiments to land the perfect blend of seductive and sinister. Nia worked with Khuranna, trying on various looks before finally settling on the now-iconic red aesthetic. To ensure sartorial perfection, even the jewellery pieces adorning Nia were painstakingly handmade rather than sourced from existing collections.

Talking about the outfit, Nia Sharma says, “Deciding what my character Nishigandha should look like in 'Suhagan Chudail' was a really exciting creative process for me as an actor and someone who loves fashion. From the very beginning when I first read the script, I knew this role needed a truly special and unique look. There's just something so special about wearing an outfit that a designer has made completely by hand from start to finish. I must say, my amazing stylist Annuradha Khuranna perfectly understood the vision I had in mind and used her talents to handcraft this stunning red ensemble for Nishigandha. We tried out many different colors, styles, and textures before deciding on this beautifully hand-embroidered masterpiece. The phenomenal response to my look from fans has made all the effort worth it.”
