Oprah quite liked the sari and had asked Aishwarya about the designer.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Winfrey bought a Sabyasachi sari for her meeting with the Prince and Princess at City Palace, Jaipur over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI picked apple green colour as it is Oprah\u2019s favourite. The sari has revived textiles from all over the country, with tone-on-tone embroidery and a black zardozi border. Also, I have given her a Kanthawork blouse in black colour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apart from Winfrey, her executives also picked up  a lot of Indian clothes. They indulged in Indian bangle sets, headbands, muslin scarves and potli bags. The 57-year-old, who is on her first visit to the country, also bought tunics and kurtis in khadi from the designer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOprah was comfortable in a sari. We showed her and her team how it is is draped. Though she will be wearing her personal jewellery with it, I have also given her a matching black purse.\u201d adds Mukherjee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A big fan of Winfrey himself, the designer says that she has a stunning personality and can wear anything and make it look beautiful.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile  at the store, one of our buyers also present there was so overwhelmed by her presence, that she broke down into tears\u201d, he says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oh please!
