At the Umrao Jaan event, Janhvi Kapoor paid tribute to veteran star Rekha, whom she fondly calls her pedamma

Janhvi complemented her vintage wardrobe pick with an ornately decorated dupatta, which was styled like a boho-traditional jacket. The beige-coloured dupatta bore similar hand-woven designs and patterns echoing the grandeur and opulence that are hallmarks of Umrao Jaan, the film.
