The actress described the statement piece as “more than jewellery,” calling it “a symbol of strength, vision and India’s rise on the world stage.”
“By wearing it at Cannes, I wanted to honour our PM, whose leadership has taken India to new heights,” Ruchi said in a statement.
The necklace was crafted with traditional Rajasthani motifs. Ruchi’s outfit also paid tribute to her roots. She wore a gold lehenga by designer Roopa Sharma, featuring mirror work, Gota Patti and embroidery, inspired by Jaipur’s regal fashion heritage.
To complete the look, Ruchi draped a handcrafted Bandhani dupatta from designer Ram of Zaribari, adorned with Zardozi and Gota Patti embellishments.
“Wearing this dupatta felt like I was draping the soul of Rajasthan,” she said.
Still, it was the PM Modi-inspired necklace that stole the spotlight.
“I wanted to carry that pride with me. Representing Rajasthan and India at Cannes is not just a moment for me—it is a message to the world about who we are.”
