Kareena’s relationship with Ritu Kumar became deeply personal when the designer restored the heritage outfit she wore for her wedding to Saif Ali Khan.
Instagram →The original piece belonged to Begum Sajida Sultan of Bhopal and was later worn by Sharmila Tagore at her wedding before reaching Kareena.
Ritu Kumar carefully restored the antique ensemble while preserving its heritage, allowing Kareena to add her own chapter to a remarkable family story.
Years later, Kareena has returned to Ritu Kumar as the face of Couture 2026, a collection designed by Amrish Kumar and rooted in Indian craftsmanship and heritage.
For Kareena, the collaboration represents memories, emotion and belonging—making Ritu Kumar Couture 2026 a continuation of a story that began with her wedding.
