What will Kareena wear?For the wedding reception, the bride will wear the sharara that mother-in-law Sharmila Tagore had worn for her wedding with the late Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. The outfit is very traditional and was passed on to Sharmila by her mother-in-law, Begum Sajida Sultan of Bhopal, who wore it at her wedding in 1939. It consists of a traditional kurta, dupatta and farishi pajama. Designer Ritu Kumar, who has reworked the outfit for Bebo said that Kareena will be wearing the original dupatta while the pajama and the kurta are being re-created as the fabric is very old. Master craftsmen from Bengal were assigned to work on the bridal outfit.
