Social media has its pros and cons. While it can be a place where there’s negativity and trolls, it also has a beautiful side, where honest and unexpected moments go viral. One such recent video doing the rounds on the internet is that of a young German woman who was captured on the streets by a photographer in Bengaluru, wearing a lovely saree.

The honest moment of the German woman walking through a bustling street in the six-yard drape was captured by photographer Rakesh Naik CM, who is into ‘stranger portraits’ - it involves photographers approaching people they don’t know on popular city streets, seeking their permission to shoot them, and then sharing the result on social media.

The intention is to capture real-life honesty and beauty of strangers, and the viral video of the young woman, who goes by the name of Liz on Instagram, does exactly that. The cross-cultural exchange makes it even more endearing. Liz is seen wearing a beautiful, sheer ivory saree with polka dots, featuring a traditional red, purple, and gold border. It’s stylishly paired with a modern crop top.

What is even more attractive is the way she carries the saree. It looks breezy and casual, like it’s an everyday affair for her. Even her styling is not over the top. For accessories, she wore beautiful jhumkas, keeping the rest of the look minimal. A bindi on the forehead, with soft glam and open tresses, did the rest of the trick.
