Commenting on her design, Ami said, “For the niqaah sequence, outfits were specially designed for the entire cast, but Eisha’s lehenga, since she is the bride, had to stand out from the rest. My team and I spent a month researching on various fabrics and design patterns. We took inspiration from various popular Pakistani designers like Ali Xeeshan, Nomi Ansari and Tena Durrani’s collections. Moreover, it took two weeks of hard-work and 6 karigars who worked around the clock to put the lehenga together. We have also taken inspiration from Turkish designers and used a wide range of velvet fabric combined with rich embroidery to enhance the beauty of all the outfits that will be worn during the upcoming sequence.”

I was blown away by the outfit Ami had designed for me and the choice of fabric coupled with the detailed embroidery made me fall in love with it instantly. She completely got my taste and style after which she curated this beautiful masterpiece. I am really looking forward to wearing this stunning lehenga. ”
