In an interview with Vogue, Anamika Khanna mentioned that it took her approximately 10,000 hours to make the lehenga. Further talking about the design inspiration, Anamika said, “Athiya’s got extremely fine, subtle, and beautiful taste. I wanted to develop something special for her that was resonant with the fact that she was going to be the bride, but she was never going to be that bride for whom everything else takes over. She has a very strong personality, and I think she’s acutely aware of it.”

“Nothing is screaming for attention [with the lehenga], and yet, it’s just so her. Safe to say that it is not an outfit she will get bored of even in the coming years,” Anamika added.
