The custom garment was designed with specific religious motifs, including an imprint of the Ayodhya temple and references to Shree Ram. Kapoor appeared visibly touched by the gesture, thanking the fan and examining the detailed needlework before the audience. Observers noted that the gift resonated deeply with the actor's current role, further bridging the gap between the modern cinematic production and the ancient cultural roots of the story.
