Bollywood actress Chitrangadha wears Mekhela Chador

On the occasion of National Handloom Day, Bollywood fashionista and actress Chitrangadha Singh wore a beautiful pearl white Mekhela Chador designed by designer Sanjukta Dutta as a special tribute to the artisans for their hard work. This pandemic is one of the most unfortunate event in the human history which has affected the entire globe. It has hit everyone at different levels and worst being the daily wage earners in the handloom industry. With many such celebrities coming up and supporting the artisans, this will surely boost their morale and increase hopes of the weavers to continue with their age-old craft thereby retaining skilled labour in the market. Also with many government initiatives being taken to revive the industry and increasing demand for the handloom products, the revival prospects of the handloom industry are very bright and promising.

Speaking about the association actress Chitrangadha Singh said, "Handloom has always been my favourite and I wear it regularly. It was a total delight to wear this beautifully made Mekhela Chador designed by Sanjukta which took 20-25 days and the hard work of 100 workers to make one single piece of the Mekhela Chador.

Designer Sanjukta Dutta said, "It was lovely to work with the beautiful Chitrangadha Singh. She looked so stunning in the Mekhela Chador. It gives all the artisans and weavers a lot of courage when they see their work getting recognition by such known celebrities".
