Sharvari, Bollywood’s rising star, is turning heads both on and off the screen. Riding high on the success of her recent hit Vedaa, her commendable work in Maharaj and the game-changing Munjya, she’s now gearing up for her next big venture, Alpha, alongside Alia Bhatt. “It feels surreal when people say I’ve arrived. The journey has been long, but I’m just so grateful,” she shares, her excitement shining through. Adding another feather to her cap, Sharvari also graced the cover of HT Showstoppers’ first quarterly magazine this month, effortlessly blending elegance with contemporary flair.

Much like her cinematic choices, Sharvari’s fashion reflects her persona — bold yet grounded. “Growing up, I was a tomboy and mostly wore my sister’s clothes. Now, I have a Pinterest board filled with looks. In a world full of trends, I want to be a classic,” she says.

Even today, the final verdict on her outfits lies with her sister, Kasturi. “She’s my go-to for outfit approval. Sometimes, I call her in the middle of her meetings and say, ‘Please check your WhatsApp right now,’ and she responds, ‘I’m in a meeting!’ I just keep insisting, ‘Please, please, please!’” she laughs.

In the era of Reels and Feeds, the actor is acutely aware of the scrutiny that comes with public life. “Social media puts everyone’s fashion choices under a microscope. It’s important to stay authentic and true to who I am,” she says. For her, comfort and self-expression are paramount.

“I refuse to wear anything that feels uncomfortable. Being transparent with my fans is key,” she explains. On the red carpet, she’s unafraid to “experiment”, but her mantra is clear: “If I feel good in something, I’ll wear it with pride — but only if I’m comfortable.”

Her adventurous approach to fashion also includes a keen eye for seasonal trends and a knack for mixing “Western silhouettes with Indian aesthetics”. “I love pairing a chic crop top with a long skirt or a traditional lehenga,” she shares.
