J.P. Dutta had announced before the release of Umrao Jaan that the glamorous costumes worn by the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai in the film will be auctioned.
The money, which would be collected from the auction, will be used for constructive works.
Now when the film has been released, the auction of the costumes worn by Ash has begun.
One of the dresses worn by Ash in the movie was bought for Rs. one lakh.
This would be a testimony to the fact that Ash still continues to rule the Bollywood scenario, has got a huge craze among her fans and her ethereal looks added glory and glamour to the film.
Some critics may have panned the film, but role of the courtesan played by Ash has earned laurels for her.
The movie’s costumes have been designed by Abu Jani, Sandeep Khosla and Anna Singh.
To design Ash’s elegant outfits in the movie, the designers created new colour palettes after studying the paintings from the 19th century Avadh.
Ash’s outfits were very heavy because of overuse of gota, embroidery and semi-precious stones. She also wore real jewellery in the film.
