On Our Radar: Avantika Hopes to Bring South Asians Solace With Disney's Spin

Another aspect of the movie that really resonated with me was seeing Indian clothing being featured in the film. Plus, Avantika is clearly becoming a fashionista off-camera as well. In fact, while we were talking, she was wearing a gorgeous red polka-dot minidress with dramatic puff-sleeves, which she styled herself. Clearly she has a love for fashion, so I had to know if there were any South Asian designers she's been loving lately. "Prabal Gurung. It's just great to see celebrities and actors wear his designs. I also recently learned about the brand Papa Don't Preach by Shubhika and I think she's so great as well. I haven't had the chance to wear anything by her, but hopefully, in the future, I'd love to!"
