A pleated affair

The latest set has Chaitra working on what is considered the most intricate part of the sari drape - the pleats

All about the series

Chaitra did a series of photos with stylist Diksha Krishnan, which were meant to capture intimacy

The actress says that the few negative remarks have been mostly about the use of a cigarette as a prop
