Not just Sharvari in Yeh Prem Mol Liya! Here’s a look at all the other actresses of Sooraj Barjatya films shining in yellow

There are certain visual elements that become synonymous with a filmmaker's storytelling, and in Sooraj Barjatya's cinema, yellow seems to have a special place. Over the years, several of his leading ladies have appeared in the colour during romantic songs, celebratory sequences and memorable moments on screen. While the recurring choice has often caught the audience's attention, there is a rather personal reason behind it. Barjatya's wife loves yellow, and the filmmaker has carried that fondness into his films by often dressing his heroines in the colour for important sequences.

From the simplicity of traditional Indian silhouettes to more elaborate festive ensembles, yellow has found different expressions across Barjatya's filmography. With Sharvari joining this long line of actresses in the recently released romantic track 'Saawan Aaya Hai' from Yeh Prem Mol Liya, here is a look at seven memorable instances when the colour became part of the filmmaker's cinematic aesthetics.

1. Sharvari – Yeh Prem Mol Liya

The latest addition to this visual tradition is Sharvari, who appears in a yellow saree in the romantic track 'Saawan Aaya Hai' from Yeh Prem Mol Liya. Set against a monsoon backdrop, the song captures the developing romance between her character and Ayushmann Khurrana through tender exchanges and romantic moments. The traditional saree lends the sequence a familiar old-school Bollywood appeal, while Sharvari's graceful styling complements the song's nostalgic romantic mood.

2. Bhagyashree – Maine Pyar Kiya

One of the earliest memorable examples comes from Maine Pyar Kiya, where Bhagyashree's Suman appeared in a bright yellow saree in ‘Dil Deewana’ song. The understated traditional outfit complemented the character's youthful innocence and uncomplicated charm. The look became closely associated with the film's visual identity, reflecting the simplicity that defined its approach to romance and fashion.

3. Madhuri Dixit – Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!

Madhuri Dixit's appearance in 'Maye Ni Maye' from Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! remains among the memorable yellow moments in Barjatya's cinema. Her vibrant traditional ensemble, paired with the song's celebratory setting, brought together colour, movement and festive dressing. As Nisha, Madhuri carried the look with an expressive screen presence, making it an enduring fashion reference from the film.

4. Tabu, Sonali Bendre and Karisma Kapoor – Hum Saath-Saath Hain

In Hum Saath-Saath Hain, the colour made its presence felt through the film's ensemble of leading ladies. Tabu, Sonali Bendre and Karisma Kapoor were seen in traditional looks during the film's family celebrations, with yellow adding to the colourful visual palette. Their individual interpretations of ethnic dressing also reflected the film's emphasis on family traditions and festive occasions.

5. Kareena Kapoor Khan –  Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon

Kareena Kapoor Khan brought a youthful interpretation to the recurring colour choice in Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon. In 'Kasam Ki Kasam', she appeared in a yellow saree that complemented the romantic setting of the song. The traditional silhouette, combined with Kareena's expressive styling, created a look that balanced the familiarity of ethnic dressing with the film's more youthful aesthetic.

6. Amrita Rao –  Vivah

In Vivah, Amrita Rao's Poonam embodied the understated traditional aesthetic often associated with Barjatya's heroines. Her yellow look in 'Do Anjaane Ajnabi' complemented the gentle romance between Poonam and Prem, played by Shahid Kapoor. The simplicity of the outfit and its styling worked in harmony with the song's soft, old-world romanticism.

7. Sonam Kapoor – Prem Ratan Dhan Payo

With Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Sonam Kapoor brought a more elaborate interpretation to the filmmaker's preference for traditional dressing. Her ethnic ensembles featured intricate detailing and ornate elements that complemented the film's regal setting. The emphasis on traditional silhouettes and rich styling made her appearances another addition to Barjatya's distinctive visual vocabulary.

From Bhagyashree's simple yellow suit to Madhuri Dixit's celebratory ensemble and Sharvari's recent saree appearance, the colour has travelled across generations of Sooraj Barjatya heroines. While each actress has brought her own interpretation to the look, the recurring presence of yellow reflects how personal inspirations can become subtle yet recognisable elements of a filmmaker's visual storytelling.
