[@mohitamarnani580]

I am the director of Nazakat Chikan ( B-28 Hazratganj Lucknow ) and I feel very happy and honored to have been recognized by this channel and truly appreciate the honesty with which the views were communicated....:)

[@anantasumedhverman8681]

I have seen the magnificient karigari. Fantastic. I presume the fabric is cotton.

Thank you for guiding us to support the female artisans of the real SEWA! 🙏Love these videos and your fabric choices are so beautiful!

[@ManishaMalikIndia]

Thank you so much!

[@himanihimanshukashyap2445]

It's good to see you that you have found some authentic chickankari shops in luckhnow. A Very helpful video for them who love chickankari pieces but difficult to find real one.

[@Anjalihihihi]

I always wait for your videos, you're like a big sister telling all the hacks to buy authentic Indian gems. You're choices are soo beautiful you're definitely a woman of class. We love you ❤️

[@ManishaMalikIndia]

Aww so sweet of you! Thank you so much Anjali😊

[@Sweetie01782]

Wish u had made this video before Sept 2022 , I wud hv visited these shops.i was there fr my mid dermacon conference Unfortunately our taxi driver took us to Sadaf lucknowi chikankari center. Taxi drivers have an association with them I guess, exorbitant prices we paid . This i realized only after I got back when I compared it with other shops ... feeling really bad. Happy tht u gave us positive reviews. Now we will know what to buy n wer to go . Hope Nazakat has online shopping ...

[@ayushichandrakar797]

So honest.. And organic content..The way you present it makes it more special.. Thanks manisha di, amazing content.

[@ManishaMalikIndia]

Thanks a ton

[@adibhattacharya3953]

I like your honesty. Very few people will share tips like you😊

[@Rainbow-uz2qr]

I recently discovered your YT channel by accident. The authenticity that you bring to your content is so refreshing. Also, am glad most of your content is non- sponsored. As a budding creator I am curious as to how do you recover your costs without the sponsorship? 🙏

[@zmnmirza]

Lucknow ShortCut: Aminabad & Chowk if you can get in with the crowd & beat the heat while grabbing a good bargain. Else Hazratganj or Sahara Mall. And its still winters so give the Namash(Daulat ki chaat) a go and all the Chat corners are a must visit. If you're into Nihari & Paaya(Bone Broth) winter mornings are the best time to grab em from your neighborhood hotel. Also Tunday k Kebab and Sheermaal. Do visit the Ghanta Ghar, Chota Imambara, Bara Imambara, Picture Gallery, Sat-Khanda, all located in Hussainabad Lucknow. If you have kids or are a nature/animal lover, the Lucknow Zoo must be on your itinerary, it is beautiful!

[@niceknow7493]

Thankyou for explaining simply - bc when I go to India I have to rely on ppl around me -over the years I realise they don’t know much

[@GrumpyKitten375]

Thank you Manisha! This information is excellent and getting the word out about buying authentic is so important. You are a woman of integrity and honesty....

[@ManishaMalikIndia]

Thank you. Glad it was helpful!

[@Iranianmushrik]

U forgot aminabad.. aminabad is more older then Ada and sugnamal...if anyone who want to buy from wholesale in lower price so there.. i will suggest please visit old shops in aminabad..

[@will-kf1li]

Please do.. Thanks in advance

[@hobicheekz7645]

hi...can you tell at what price range chikan kutis are avilable at aminabad? will visit soon

[@richarajesh8098]

Very nice episode. One more request. If you can someday do of Banarasi and suggest 3-4 authentic pure silk fabrics, exquisite quality Banarasi silk sarees stores. Best wishes!

[@ManishaMalikIndia]

Sure😊

[@kristint31313]

3:26 wow these pants (?) are stunning and absolutely perfect for summer, everything else you showed was beautiful as well of course 😍

[@ManishaMalikIndia]

Thank you so much!!

[@amy8121]

as a lucknowite, if you are coming to buy chikan clothes, prefer chowk area. The prices are cheap compared to main bazaar like almost double. buy fabric if u want to hv. beware, chikankari is handwork. there is also machine work chikan clothes too. so u really need to differentiate.

[@panchami6024]

I hope you make a video on Kanchipuram , Mysore silks too. These are very famous South Indian weaves. In my opinion Mysore silk is one the FINEST SOFTEST fabrics !!

[@ManishaMalikIndia]

Sure I will

Manisha, I’ve been following your channel. Since it’s inception. I think you are so pure, authentic, classy and ultimately beautiful. I came to the states when I was 11-years-old and have only been back twice. I have the hardest time with where to go shopping. Can you recommend some shops in Delhi where I can purchase nice quality fabrics for Kurta suits and at the same shop get them stitched by giving them my measurements? Is this possible? I will eagerly wait for your response.

The oldest manufacturers are in Yahiyaganj and Raja Bazar also gali parcha. somehow you missed all that. SEWA and Banarsi Das and all those people are not even 30 year old. They do not have online presence so you never got to know about them but they virtually brought Chikan to the world.

[@sunshinemoon634]

Hi Manisha Very helpful video. It’s sad I live abroad And not from India . Was hoping to some how shop online through authentic brands & ngos like sewa but though you are kind enough to share links.
