Sari

The sari is back in fashion in Pakistan, especially among the urban elite, nearly three decades after it went out of vogue due to the conservative policies followed by former dictator Zia-ul Haq.

The comeback of the beautiful six-yard drape is partly thanks to Indian cinema and TV channels.

‘The Indian electronic media has played an important role in promoting the sari culture in Pakistan. Now Pakistani actresses on TV channels are being seen wearing saris, especially young women,’ The Nation newspaper said.
