New Delhi: An Italian woman fulfilled her grandmother’s desire to wear a saree. The wholesome clip melted the hearts of many online.

Olly Esse, an Italian DJ and influencer, helped her grandmother drape a saree. In her post, she explained that her granny connection with India started when she visited Mumbai 20 years ago. Esse wrote, “The story of my nonna and India started 20 years ago, when she decided to come to Mumbai for vacations with her family. She told me, that everyone was looking so amazing, especially since she loved the television series, Sandokan, and she used to adore the Indian wear, as she was a High Fashion tailor herself. She spent one month in India, she bought fabric and she enjoyed the culture, but she was too shy to ask anyone to pleat her saree. And she really wanted to do it.”
