Given her fondness for saree fabrics like cotton spun and hand woven silks, a popular group of Hyderabad weavers have invited Vidya Balan to launch their store. In fact, she is aware that Hyderabad is renowned for Pochampally sarees in cotton and silk fabric, Narayanpet sarees with gorgeous zari work and vibrant Gadwal sarees. A number of these sarees from the city are the most cherished in her wardrobe.

She has always supported the revival of handloom and spoken about its importance and relevance. She is aware that Hyderabad is renowned for Pochampally saris in cotton and silk, Narayanpet saris with gorgeous zari work and vibrant Gadwal saris.”
