Even before They drive 1947 hit theatres, Kanikka Kapoor had everyone doing a double take thanks to her uncanny resemblance to Kiara Advani.
But beyond the comparisons, she’s carving out a style identity of her own. Think regal lehengasglamorous saris and enough desi sparkle to light up an entire wedding season.
