Colours often play an important role in Bollywood films, adding emotions, beauty and meaning to memorable scenes. One filmmaker who has created a distinct visual identity through colours is Sooraj Barjatya. Whether it is a romantic song, a family celebration or a special moment between two characters, his leading ladies are often seen wearing yellow. Interestingly, there is a sweet reason behind this recurring tradition. Sooraj Barjatya’s wife loves the colour yellow, and her fondness for it has inspired the filmmaker to feature the shade in several important moments across his films.
Over the years, this little tradition has given audiences some unforgettable Bollywood fashion moments. Now, Sharvari is carrying it forward with her yellow saree in the recently released romantic song ‘Saawan Aaya Hai’ from ‘Yeh Prem Mol Liya’. Let’s take a look at seven actresses who made yellow a memorable part of Sooraj Barjatya’s cinematic world.
1. Sharvari – ‘Saawan Aaya Hai’, Yeh Prem Mol Liya
The newest addition to this tradition is Sharvari. In the romantic track ‘Saawan Aaya Hai’ from ‘Yeh Prem Mol Liya’, she looks beautiful in a yellow saree. Set against a monsoon backdrop, the song captures the growing romance between her and Ayushmann Khurrana through tender moments and romantic glances. Her graceful appearance and traditional styling bring back the charm of old-school Bollywood romance.
2. Bhagyashree – Maine Pyar Kiya
Bhagyashree created one of the most memorable yellow looks in Sooraj Barjatya’s debut directorial, ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’. Dressed in a bright yellow suit, she perfectly represented the innocence, freshness and simplicity of Suman. Her effortless charm made the character immensely popular, and the look continues to remain special for Bollywood fans even today.
3. Madhuri Dixit – ‘Maye Ni Maye’, Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!
One cannot talk about yellow in Barjatya’s films without remembering Madhuri Dixit’s iconic appearance in ‘Maye Ni Maye’. Wearing a beautiful yellow ensemble, Madhuri impressed audiences with her graceful dance moves, expressive face and playful energy. As Nisha, she brought warmth and charm to the screen, making this song one of the most memorable moments in the film.
4. Tabu, Sonali Bendre and Karisma Kapoor – Hum Saath-Saath Hain
In ‘Hum Saath-Saath Hain’, the love for yellow extended to all three leading ladies. Tabu, Sonali Bendre and Karisma Kapoor brought their individual charm to the film through their traditional outfits and elegant appearances. Their looks added colour and vibrancy to the film’s family celebrations.
5. Kareena Kapoor Khan – ‘Kasam Ki Kasam’, Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon
Kareena Kapoor Khan added a youthful touch to the yellow tradition in ‘Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon’. In the song ‘Kasam Ki Kasam’, she appears in a beautiful yellow saree. Her expressive performance, lively personality and romantic styling made the look stand out.
6. Amrita Rao – ‘Do Anjaane Ajnabi’, Vivah
Amrita Rao’s portrayal of Poonam in ‘Vivah’ remains one of the most loved characters in Barjatya’s filmography. In ‘Do Anjaane Ajnabi’, her yellow look beautifully complements the innocence and tenderness of her growing romance with Prem. Her simple traditional styling perfectly captures the film’s old-world romantic charm.
7. Sonam Kapoor – Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
Sonam Kapoor brought a grand and regal interpretation to the yellow tradition in ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’. Her traditional outfits, intricate detailing and elegant styling complemented the film’s royal setting. Her appearance added another beautiful chapter to Barjatya’s visual storytelling.
From Bhagyashree and Madhuri Dixit to Kareena Kapoor and Sharvari, yellow has become more than just a colour in Sooraj Barjatya’s films. It has evolved into a charming cinematic tradition that continues to bring warmth, romance and nostalgia to the big screen.
