Mumbai, June 13 : Actress Mandeep Kaur, who will be seen playing a Rajasthani bride in the show 'Vasudha', said she was genuinely excited to sport the look as it was her first time.

]'It was my first time ever dressing up as a Rajasthani bride, and I was genuinely excited. I sat with the creative team to understand their vision for Megha's look and even added a few suggestions of my own,' she added.

The actress dressed in a deep maroon lehenga with intricate golden embroidery, a heavily embellished choli, and a classic Rajasthani-style dupatta, her look was brought together with traditional kundan jewellery, which included a nath, choker, layered haar, borla maang tikka, bangles, and a kamarbandh.

'I felt the kamarbandh and traditional dupatta drape would enhance the authenticity. When I finally saw myself in the mirror, it felt surreal. Though the outfit was layered and heavy, stepping into character brought everything together beautifully. It was a refreshing change from my usual look, and I loved how rooted and regal it felt,' added the actress.
