Bipasha Basu and Rocky S have known each other for over a decade and the designer says she looks perfect in a sari, contrary to the popular view that only western outfits suit her. And he went all the way to Kolkata to buy saris for the actress to wear in a forthcoming film."People feel that she looks good only in western outfits. That's not true. She is a very simple girl who looks good in everything. Personally, I feel she looks perfect in a sari because she is a very traditional girl and a sari reflects that trait, " Rocky S told in an interview.
The designer did the inaugural show at the Lakme Fashion Week here Friday and the actress walked the ramp for him in a yellow and beige sari.
Rocky is working with Bipasha in director Priyadarshan's untitled movie in which the actress plays a middle-class Bengali woman.
"You will see Bipasha in big bindis and beautiful saris. I had to go all the way to Kolkata to purchase saris for her, " he said.
So was it a difficult task?
"Well, Bipasha is a Bengali girl and she has sharp Bengali features...So I didn't have to do much. But I can tell you one thing that the audience will love her in the movie and this look. She is looking simply beautiful, " Rocky said.
Rocky has also designed for the actress in upcoming movie "Lamhaa" in which she plays a Kashmiri girl. And after an association going back over 10 years, the designer says the two now "complement" each other.
"Bipasha is a very close friend. I understand her body language completely. Ever since she started her career, I have been designing for her. Over the period of years our bond has become so strong that we complement each other, " he said.
"It's her trust in me and my designs that keeps our relationship going, " he added.
Rocky's Bollywood clientele also includes John Abraham, Katrina Kaif and Shilpa Shetty.
