‘They were extremely surprised’
“I was travelling to another state after quite a long and while the travel phase seemed very dull, I had a great time in Lucknow. I visited my niece and sister-in-law, and we all had a small get together. I also went around Lucknow and shopped a lot too. The markets in the city of Nawabs got me engrossed as the lovely and beautiful art of Chikankari caught my eye. I have always been a fan of the intricate designs of Chikankari work and I bought something for everyone close to me. I bought several dresses and kurtas for myself as well as for my mother, my niece and a couple of my close family members and friends. They were extremely surprised, and they didn’t expect it at all. It was lovely seeing their excited reactions and their compliments really flattered me.”
