Akshaye Khanna’s “Sher-E-Baloch” look from the viral Dhurandhar song “FA9LA” has emerged as one of the most striking fashion moments of the year, dominating social media timelines and pop culture conversations. Now, costume designer Smriti Chauhan has revealed the creative vision that transformed the look into an instant icon.
According to Smriti, the decision to dress Akshaye Khanna entirely in black was deliberate. The aim was to make him the unmistakable focal point of the song, even amid vibrant visuals and dynamic choreography. The strategy clearly worked, as the look quickly became a sensation online.
The ensemble beautifully blends tradition with modern elegance. Akshaye sports a black Balochi-inspired pathani paired with a slim-fit Chinese collar kurta, detailed with suede piping and matte black metallic buttons. Completing the look is a light pashmina scarf, which adds fluidity, movement, and a sense of effortless swagger.
While the outfit draws heavily from Balochistan’s cultural roots, subtle yet smart design choices elevated its impact. Instead of pure silk, the team opted for a silk-wool blend for texture and comfort. The contrast of the all-black attire with a crisp white pagdi (turban) further enhanced the visual appeal, ensuring Akshaye stood out prominently in every frame.
This thoughtful mix of cultural homage and contemporary styling has propelled Akshaye Khanna’s Dhurandhar avatar into pop culture stardom. The Sher-E-Baloch persona has since inspired countless recreations, reels, and tributes, firmly establishing it as a fresh and influential fashion trend across social platforms worldwide.
