For the unversed, the half saree ceremony is celebrated in South India. It is a celebration that is held days after a girl’s first menstruation. She is gifted her first half saree, which includes a skirt, blouse, and a dupatta, by her maternal uncle. At the ceremony, the guests are served traditional food.
Lakshmi is the only daughter of Mohan Babu and the late Vidya Devi. She has lately been seen in films like Daksha: The Deadly Conspiracy, Adiparvam, and Monster. She was also seen in the Tamil film Pookie.
