Rakul Preet Singh Excludes Royal Beauty with a Veena

Have you seen Rakul Preet Singh's stunning new look for HT City Showstoppers? She’s holding a veena dressed in a regal lehenga and truly radiates elegance and tradition.

Rakul (@rakulpreet) is a woman who leads with honesty and heart. She says, “You have to be cautious about what you put out. I also need to show reality. Even if I am not looking my best, it is fine.” She believes young people must know that beauty isn’t everything—and that message matters. “They think this is what ultimate beauty is and feel they are not good enough. That responsibility is on us,” she adds.

For this shoot, she wore a velvet lehenga by Lalit Dalmia (@lalitdalmiaofficial), inspired by ShriNath Ji. It features Vrinda, lotus flowers, peacocks, and cows—symbols of devotion. Her look was completed with jewellery by Chaulaz Heritage Jewellery (@chaulazheritagejewellery).
