Kurtas have become a ‘basic’ in the wardrobes of our celebrities and rightly so. The classic piece is nothing but chic and comfy and it makes for the perfect daytime casual look, airport look or even a rather trendy evening look if styled well. Low maintenance yet form-flattering, the kurta is essentially that go-to-piece for most women and your Bollywood divas seem to wholeheartedly agree. Here’s how your Bollywood favourites prove that the kurta is probably the most versatile piece in your wardrobe...

Channelling old-Bollywood vibes, Kangana was spotted in the white kurta at the airport.
