Woven 2017 Fashion Show: Tollywood celebs laud Samantha for joining hands with KTR [PHOTOS]

A host of Tollywood celebs have lauded and congratulated actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu for joining hands with Telangana's Industry and Information Technology Minister KTR aka KT Rama Rao for the initiative of Woven 2017.

Samantha is a diva of the south Indian film industry. She is also a popular style icon and whatever she flaunts in public events garners a lot of attention. KTR, who is on a mission to revive the handloom industry, made a right choice by bringing the actress on board as the ambassador for the industry.

KTR held the Woven 2017 Fashion Show on August 7, which happened to be the National Handloom Day. Samantha appeared in a black and white handloom ikat print saree with a black blouse at this event. She accessorised it with a black and silver striped belt, black ankle strap heels and statement silver earrings.

Samantha weaved her way into people with an amazing initiative and she was the star of the evening. Her fiancée Akkineni Naga Chaitanya was there at the Woven 2017 Fashion Show to back the actress. She walked the ramp for Shilpa Reddy and stunned everyone on this occasion.

Rana Daggubati, Nithiin, Rakul Preet, Keerthy Suresh and several others from the Telugu celebs praised Samantha for her efforts in promoting Handloom. They took to Twitter congratulate her for her initiative to organise Woven 2017 to popularize handloom. Here are their comments.
