Rukmini Maitra Traces Her Timeless Style to Family and Puja
Rukmini Maitra is an actor who enjoys fashion.
She learned about style by watching her mother and grandmother dress elegantly.
She likes clothes that feel personal and can still look good many years later.
For special events, she may wear dramatic outfits, but in daily life she prefers simple clothes such as jeans and T-shirts.
She says confidence is what makes any outfit look good.
Rukmini also says Durga Puja teaches Bengali girls about clothes and style from a young age.
Today, she chooses more handloom and locally made saris that she can wear many times.
For her, Puja is mainly about family, homecoming and people coming together.
Rukmini Maitra says her mother and grandmother shaped her understated, polished approach to fashion.
She prefers structured, monochromatic and timeless clothing over constantly following trends.
The actor distinguishes grand, sometimes uncomfortable red-carpet dressing from relaxed everyday outfits.
She describes Durga Puja as Bengali girls’ first fashion education, involving carefully planned looks across five days.
Maitra now favors sustainable handloom and locally crafted Bengal saris that can carry memories across generations.
