“Sari is not just a ceremonial dress that you wear once in your life like a Gharara, it is a legacy that is worn and passed on as a heritage from one generation to the next”, said Kersi as he sat down for an exclusive interview with The News.
These are all of the line stuff, and match the quality of what the Bollywood stars wear, he said, as he showed a black sari with breathtaking dull gold embellishment of Kora-dabka.
Explaining his method, he said that he travels extensively across India to search the source manufacturers for the best work in addition to his designed saris and buys them. This, he said, cuts the transactional cost which enables him to sell them at a comparatively affordable price as compared to the jaw dropping price tags that deter most valued customers. Talking about Pakistan he said that changing trends in this part of the world has now got young girls wearing saris at wedding and at other ceremonies. He appreciated the work done by Pakistani designers at the Fashion Weeks. Over these past 18 years that I have been bringing the best of Indian saris and formal wear to Pakistan, I have developed this strong relationship with the people, who have been very warm and welcoming, even beyond my socialising experience in India, he said.
Talking about the Pak-India relationships, he said that the most positive factor is that, despite all the incidents in between a very strong urge to establish and maintain friendly relationship exists on both sides of the border, which is bound to reap results.
He was of the view that trade between India and Pakistan is the strongest of bonds that can bring both countries together and bind them in an indispensable relationship which will lead to better opportunities for the resolution of conflicts.
He admitted that he loved the food here in Pakistan and expressed his surprise as to why no Pakistani food chain has established itself in India. “I’ve experienced an amazing consistency in quality and taste in some of the Pakistani food chains and the ambience that they provide.
