Krithi Shetty, known for her work in Telugu and Tamil movies, recently opened up about her collaboration with Indriya. In an exclusive interview with HT Lifestyle, the actor spoke about her love for temple jewellery, Tulu culture, festive dressing, cherished family heirlooms and the traditions she hopes to carry forward.
The brand’s approach to drawing inspiration from our heritage has attracted the actor for this collaboration. “Indriya is inspired by our heritage but reimagined for the modern woman. “It would be traditional and timeless in some way. My love for jewellery, since I transitioned into womanhood, my love for jewellery has grown immensely. I’m on the way to discovering what exactly I love, but at the same time I’m someone who loves experimenting with fashion . Sometimes I’m like a maximalist, and I want to really layer and wear lots of jewellery, and sometimes I want to be a little more minimalistic and just wear a pendant and some small studs. So, it depends on my mood, but I want to craft something that I really love. So right now, I’m in that phase of navigating through lots of experiments,” the actor explained. South India is known for its elaborate festivals deeply rooted in heritage and culture. Speaking about the same, Krithi shared her favourite festival. “Kola is one of the most beloved festivals for me. I always get very excited; it’s hard to explain to someone the feeling of being excited to witness it. My family, relatives, cousins; we all get ready together in our ancestral home. So, it’s just that excitement of getting ready, putting on our sarees and all our jewellery and, there’s a nice vibe going on, and then you go and experience something divine.”
It has a contemporary twist,” Shetty told HT Lifestyle. Krithi calls her personal styling “experimental”.
