A host of Bollywood celebrities came together on Sunday night at a trendy Mumbai restaurant for a lively costume party organized in support of a charitable cause. Among the star-studded attendees were Wamiqa Gabbi, Huma Qureshi, and former actress Tanishaa Mukerji sister of Kajol and daughter of veteran actress Tanuja. While the night was filled with fun and flair, it was Tanishaa’s bold fashion choice that became the hot topic of conversation both at the event and online.
A Daring Fashion Statement
In tune with the event’s whimsical theme, Tanishaa Mukerji made a dramatic entrance in a sheer black mesh maxi dress that featured oversized white fabric roses, strategically placed across the top half and back. She completed her avant-garde look with statement jewellery and a dramatic fascinator, ensuring all eyes were on her.
While the outfit aligned with the playful tone of the evening, it sparked a frenzy on social media, where opinions were sharply divided. Some praised her daring fashion sense, calling it bold and fashion-forward, while others felt the ensemble pushed the envelope too far.
