She recently wore the same outfit while attending an event in Agra with her husband, businessman Vicky Jain.
“Ye suit 2011 ka hai, tab ye maine Manish Malhotra ka pehla suit khareeda tha apni mehnat se. Aaj hum kitne bhi kapde khareed le, lekin ye mera pehla suit tha kamayi ka (This suit is from 2011.
