For the ethnic OOTDs that deserve full spotlight
Tenu Sang Rakhna – Jigra: If you are having a twinning moment with your sibling, this soft yet catchy track makes everyone feel the “I will protect” you vibe
Desi Girl – Dostana: Classic. Timeless. Dramatic. If your outfit is giving “I did not come to play,” then this is your anthem. Do I need to say more?
