Sabyasachi Mukherjee is a household name now, not only in India, but worldwide. The designers classic sarees and outfits are very much a rage in Bollywood. Starting in 1999, this Kolata born designer began showcasing his beautiful creations. He has also forayed into Bollywood and designed costumes for Black, Baabul, Laga Chunari Mein Daag, Guzaarish and Raavan.
Sabyasachis trademark styles are very much influenced by his home town of Kolkata, and he describes his work as "International with an Indian soul"

Of course, many celebrities ranging from Vidya Balan, Aishwarya Rai, Kangana Ranaut and Kajol are often seen sporting his beautiful designs. But perhaps his most ardent supporter comes in the form of Rani Mukerji. Sabya and Rani are synonymous with each other now, and they are a match truly made in clothing heaven.
Here are my favourite Sabya outfits showcased by Rani Mukerji.

Sabyasachi says
"I very carefully plug my sensibilities into the important films of the year, because at the end of the day, somebody who has made me a super brand in mass India is Rani Mukherjee. I am still regarded as Rani Mukherjee’s tailor. Every wedding that I go to, I am perceived of as famous because I have something to do with Rani."
"When Rani and me had our association, I was a nobody and Rani was the number one actress in Bollywood. Also, one of the reasons Rani and Vidya have connected me to mass India is because they are identifiable actresses. There is a huge difference between a Katrina Kaif and a Rani Mukherjee, an Aishwarya Rai and a Vidya Balan"

Let's hope their friendship continues for years to come! I will leave you with this quote from Sabyasachi..
Q - You are to make a Sabyasachi Barbie doll. Where is she from, and what is she wearing?
A - She is from Kolkata, wearing a red and white sari with a red bindi.
Well Sabya, what are you waiting for? ;)
