The concept was bold: Deconstructing the Devrani . The fashion team wanted to break the stereotype of the typical TV actress—the heavy lehengas, the gajra, the eternal tears. Instead, they envisioned a goddess for the modern age.

The second segment was a stark contrast. A “Style Gallery” isn’t just couture; it is a journey. The team shifted the set to a minimalist white void. Ananya changed into a high-street ensemble—a cropped graphic tee that read “Serial Killer” (a cheeky pun on her killing the ratings charts), high-waisted vegan leather pants, and chunky sneakers.

Ananya framed the Heiress photo for her vanity van. As she returned to the set of Sanskar Ki Doriyaan , ready to slap the vamp in a $2,000 saree, she glanced at the picture. The woman in the frame wasn’t acting. She was simply winning.

And that, darling, is how a photoshoot becomes a style legend.

That was the magic of the Star Plus Serial Actress Fashion Photoshoot and Style Gallery . It wasn't just about clothes. It was about reclaiming narrative. For years, these actresses were dressed by costume departments to look like passive ideals. But in the style gallery, Ananya Sharma was the curator. She rejected three outfits that were too ‘motherly.’ She insisted on keeping her real skin texture—no airbrushing away the dark circles from night shoots.

The first look was an architectural marvel by Sabyasachi, but not the one you’d expect. It was a structured, corseted blazer in crushed velvet, paired not with a lehenga, but with flowing, wide-leg silk trousers in the deepest maroon. The jewelry was antique Rajasthani silver, heavy and loud. As Ananya stepped onto the set—a mock-up of a crumbling haveli with LED walls showing a digital monsoon—the photographer, Rajiv Mehta, clapped.

The finale of the style gallery had to pay homage to her roots. But no nylon chiffon. The team brought out a hand-loomed Bengal Tant saree, stark white with a single red border. But instead of a traditional blouse, she wore a distressed denim jacket over it. Her feet were bare. Her sindoor (vermilion) was smudged like war paint.

The air in the Mumbai studio smelled of jasmine incense and fresh paint. For fifteen years, Ananya Sharma had graced the living rooms of a billion people as the beloved bahu (daughter-in-law) of the nation’s top-rated Star Plus serial, Sanskar Ki Doriyaan . But today, she wasn’t weeping softly in a chiffon saree or delivering a powerful monologue under a ceiling fan. Today, she was shedding her on-screen identity for a “Style Gallery” feature in Vogue India .

As the final shot was taken, the creative director whispered to Rajiv, “She looks like a widow who decided to go to a rock concert.”
