She said: “While creating the 17th-century outfits for Tara, a lot of intricate details were added to her lehengas including tassels, embroidery, and mixing and matching of colours and jewellery. Pinks, oranges, and hints of turquoise were used to add richness while emphasising her royal heritage.”

Riya Sharma further elaborated on the importance of costumes and their choice as per the demand of the story and character.

The 17th-century costume holds a special place in my heart and I absolutely adore the princess outfit! It’s regal, and elegant and perfectly encapsulates the richness of Indian culture. It makes me feel like an actual princess whenever I put it on. I remember, the first time I got into the look, it was surreal to see myself as Tara.”
“Even with heavy jewellery, it made me want to get on my feet and twirl. When I put on the costume, it instantly transports me to the olden times and really helps me get into character. Tara’s costumes stand out the most and I’m really excited to see the viewers experience the show and her fabulous outfits,” Riya Sharma concluded.
