Always felt sad about declining demand for handloom stuff and the future of these weavers till the TS govt gave them special orders for Bathukamma etc. Will wear more of them in future and I tag @pvsindhu1 @vvslaxman281 and Actor @venkymama to take forward this handloom movement pic.twitter.com/Z8NiEYO2yM
