Sharvari joins a long line of Sooraj Barjatya heroines in yellow — from Bhagyashree to Sonam Kapoor — in the romantic track 'Saawan Aaya Hai' from Yeh Prem Mol Liya.
The yellow saree Sharvari wears in the romantic track ‘Saawan Aaya Hai’ from Yeh Prem Mol Liya isn’t just a costume — it’s a thread in a decades-long visual language. Sooraj Barjatya’s films have long been defined by recurring motifs, but none quite as consistent or quietly resonant as the colour yellow.
It appears not in passing, but in pivotal moments: during romantic duets, family celebrations, and scenes where emotion spills over into silence. The reason? Personal. Barjatya’s wife has a deep affection for yellow, and he’s carried that preference into his storytelling, dressing his leading ladies in the hue during key sequences.
It’s become more than a stylistic choice. It’s a signature. From Bhagyashree’s bright yellow saree in Maine Pyar Kiya, where her character Suman glides through the song ‘Dil Deewana’ with unguarded charm, to Madhuri Dixit’s vibrant ensemble in Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! during ‘Maye Ni Maye’, the look has evolved while staying rooted in tradition.
Tabu, Sonali Bendre, and Karisma Kapoor wore it in Hum Saath-Saath Hain, their collective presence turning the colour into a symbol of festivity and familial warmth. Kareena Kapoor Khan brought a modern edge to the tradition in Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon, her yellow saree in ‘Kasam Ki Kasam’ balancing youthful energy with old-world grace.
Amrita Rao’s understated elegance in Vivah, a soft yellow in ‘Do Anjaane Ajnabi’, anchored the film’s gentle romance. And Sonam Kapoor elevated it further in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, where intricate detailing and regal silhouettes turned the colour into something ornate and ceremonial. Now, Sharvari steps into this lineage, appearing in a traditional yellow saree against a monsoon backdrop, her movements delicate, her expression tender.
The sequence captures the quiet unfolding of love between her and Ayushmann Khurrana, wrapped in nostalgia and familiar aesthetics. The film releases next week. The question isn’t whether she fits the look. It’s how long this golden thread will keep holding.
