Bollywood has a rich history of men embracing the saree on screen, proving that fashion has no gender. From Vijay Sethupathi’s deeply nuanced and graceful portrayal of a trans woman in Super Deluxe to Allu Arjun’s fiercely iconic and box-office-shattering look in Pushpa 2, these moments transcend mere costume. Whether it was Riteish Deshmukh’s comfortable and comedic disguise in Apna Sapna Money Money, Kamal Haasan’s masterclass in dignity and elegance as the beloved nanny in Chachi 420, or Govinda’s full-throttle sass and swagger in Aunty No. 1, these actors didn’t just wear a saree—they owned it. Beneath the artistry and even the comedy lies a powerful message: a saree doesn’t care about your gender, only how you carry it.
