Manasa Varanasi in Red Salwar Suit at the Couple Friendly Press Meet

As the countdown to the release of her debut film Couple Friendly begins, actress and former Miss India Manasa Varanasi turned heads at the film’s pre-release press meet in Hyderabad. Looking every bit the traditional Indian beauty, she opted for a classic ethnic look that perfectly complemented her grace and poise.

Manasa donned a stunning red sleeveless kurta featuring a contemporary square neckline and a sleek, straight-cut silhouette. She paired the kurta with matching red straight-fit pants, creating a monochromatic base that was both bold and sophisticated. Styled by Geethika Kanumilli, highlight of her ensemble was a dual-toned sheer dupatta in shades of red and pink, embellished with a glimmering gold border and delicate sequin handwork that caught the light with every move.

Completing the look with an authentic touch, she wore intricately embroidered juttis (traditional flats) and kept her accessories minimal to let her outfit shine. She wore a thin gold chain with a small pendant, simple stud earrings, and a delicate bracelet. Her hair was styled in her signature voluminous dark curls, left open to frame her face, while her makeup was kept fresh and radiant with a pop of red on her lips.

During the event, Manasa spoke about her character, Mithra, describing her as a talkative and spontaneous girl who navigates a modern relationship in the film. Starring opposite Santosh Soban, the musical romantic drama is set to hit theaters on February 14, 2026, just in time for Valentine’s Day.
