Dolly Jain on how her journey of being a drape artist started

In the episode, the show’s host, Aditya Narayan was seen asking Dolly how the journey of becoming a drape artist began. To which, she mentioned that it was her mother-in-law’s decision never to let her wear anything else than a saree post-marriage which channelled her love for the kind of ensemble. She also mentioned that initially, it used to take a minimum of 45 minutes for her to drape a saree every day. She said:

“I got married into a household, where I had to wear a saree. I used to hate sarees. After marriage, I would take 45 mins to drape a saree everyday. I used to think everyday when my mother-in-law would allow me to wear a kurta instead of a saree. But she didn’t agree. By the time she agreed, I fell in love with sarees.”
