Radhika Merchant, Shloka Mehta And Isha Ambani Serve Ethnic Glam At Swadesh Store Launch In Mumbai
Radhika Merchant, Isha Ambani and Shloka Mehta turned heads at the Swadesh store launch in Mumbai, showcasing elegant ethnic ensembles in sarees and suits
The inauguration of the new Swadesh store in Mumbai turned into a showcase of traditional style as the Ambani women arrived dressed in stunning ethnic ensembles. From rich silks to intricate embroidery, Radhika Merchant, Isha Ambani, and Shloka Mehta gave us major desi fashion inspiration. Here's a breakdown of their looks:
Radhika exuded elegance in a rich orange silk saree, accentuated with broad golden borders. Draped in a classic style with the pallu cascading gracefully over her shoulder, she wore a matching blouse to maintain the timeless appeal. Her jewellery added a royal touch—she wore a diamond choker accented with green emeralds, oversized diamond earrings, and her mangalsutra. With dewy makeup and her hair styled in a sleek half-up, half-down do, Radhika looked nothing short of radiant.
Isha Ambani's Bold Bandhani Look
Isha chose a vibrant red bandhani saree detailed with broad golden borders, giving her look a festive edge. She styled it with a gold-toned, heavily embellished blouse that amped up the celebratory vibe. Her accessories included a traditional layered necklace and coordinating earrings, lending her look a rich, ethnic finish. With soft, glowing makeup and her hair left open in gentle waves, Isha struck the perfect balance between grandeur and grace.
Shloka Mehta's Sophisticated Suit Style
Shloka opted for a refined alternative to the saree, an embroidered ethnic suit in soft beige tones, adorned with multicoloured threadwork. She paired it with palazzo pants and added contrast with a vibrant orange silk dupatta. Her look was accessorised with statement earrings, and she kept her beauty look fresh with nude-toned makeup and loose, middle-parted hair. Shloka's outfit was the epitome of understated elegance.
Together, the trio offered a masterclass in festive Indian dressing traditional, luxe, and effortlessly stylish.

Speaking about the decision to cast Medha, producer Bhushan Kumar shares, 'It was imperative for us to find someone who could naturally embody the dialect, spirit, and rooted essence of the region.

We truly believe she will bring depth and realism to the role.' Producer Nidhi Dutta adds, 'Border 2 is not just a film; it's an emotion. Every choice we've made, from the director to the cast, is driven by our vision to tell a story that feels honest, powerful, and relevant. Medha Rana opposite actor Varun Dhawan will bring freshness and sincerity that aligns beautifully with the tone of the film.' This decision also reflects a conscious move away from formulaic casting, opting instead for talent that aligns with the demands of the character.

Set against the backdrop of valour, sacrifice, and national pride, Border 2 promises to be an emotional yet high-octane cinematic journey. With Varun Dhawan stepping into the rugged terrain of an epic war drama, and now with the addition of a fresh new face, Border 2 is shaping up to be a project that balances scale with substance. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD More details on Medha Rana are expected to be revealed soon, but for now, it's clear that Border 2 is ready to break boundaries, not just on the battlefield, but in Bollywood's approach to casting too.

Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta, and directed by Anurag Singh, Border 2 is presented by Gulshan Kumar & T-Series, in association with J.P. Dutta's J.P. Films.
