MUMBAI: Actor Pooja Hegde took a trip down memory lane as she picked up a very special saree from her vintage closet.

Taking to her Instagram account on Sunday, the actress posted a series of pictures as she posed in a beautiful 70-year-old green Kanjivaram saree. The actress, who looked stunning in traditional wear, paired the saree with a matching blouse.

Along with the pictures, the actress added a caption that read, “From the vintage closet, a 70-YEAR-OLD stunning saree… It took me back to the images of my beautiful Ajji (grandma) in her Kanjivarams going about her day, the fresh smell of mallige in the house before getting ready to go for a wedding, and the aromas of the wet Mangalore mud after the first rains… Oh, the beauty in the simplest things.”
