Alia Bhatt flaunts sapphire diamond necklace worth Rs 20 crore for London's 'Hope Gala', designers spill the beans on actress' look

Alia Bhatt turned host for the Hope Gala in London on Thursday. With the event, the diva raised funds for underprivileged adolescents in India through the Salaam Bombay Foundation. Joining her for the cause were musician Harshdeep Kaur, comedian Rohan Joshi, and director Gurinder Chadha, among others.

Do you know the jewelry Alia flaunted for the event is worth around Rs 20 crore. Designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla shared the actress’ look on Instagram and carved out the details and the inspiration behind.

They wrote- "Alia Bhatt wears an archival Masterpiece vintage saree by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla created in 1994. The city was Paris. The year was 1994. Abu Sandeep’s imagination bloomed on a trip to the Musee d’Orsay, where under the spell of Monet’s delicate waterlilies, they set out to create magic. Their inspiration led them to explore the ethereal canvas of ton-Sur-ton ivory and beige embroidery on an off-white canvas."

They added, "The endeavour led to the most meticulous craftsmanship spread over 3500 hours. The ivory floral Resham saree features silk threads embroidered in different stitches to manifest a fabulous dimension in the fabric. It celebrates Abu Sandeep’s love for nature, their passion for the pristine and their devotion to their craft at its most elevated."

Notably, the gala event saw Alia backing the Salaam Bombay charity. The charity indulges in social work to help Mumbai’s most vulnerable children through in-school programs for leadership and advocacy. It also deals with their after-school academies for skill-building to take an initiative boosting their confidence and self-esteem to receive education.

Meanwhile, Alia Bhatta was also clicked by shutterbugs as she left for London on Wednesday night at the airport. The actress was caught blushing as one of the paps called her ‘vahini.’ The video showed the Gangubai Kathiawadi star rushing to board her flight. Despite this, she took a moment to take a picture with a young fan.
