The viral moment was so powerful that Girija was soon referred to as the ‘National Crush’ and ‘Blue Saree Girl’ across social media. Interestingly, the saree at the centre of all the attention was not an expensive designer creation or an extravagant outfit. Its simplicity, combined with Girija’s elegant personality, made the look particularly memorable.

Now, months after the trend, the viral blue saree has once again become a topic of discussion. During a recent interview, Girija was asked a rather direct question — “What did you do with that blue saree?”

The actress responded in her characteristic humorous style. Rather than revealing exactly where the saree is, Girija jokingly said that she would not disclose its location. According to her, if people find out where she has kept the saree, they may start approaching her asking for the same saree.

‘Everyone Thinks Girija Only Wears a Blue Saree’

Girija also revealed that the popularity of the blue saree has created an amusing situation for her professionally.

She said that several brands approach her with requests to appear in the same blue saree while promoting their products. Even her manager reportedly receives similar requests regularly.

Because of the viral popularity of the outfit, Girija joked that some people now seem to believe that calling Girija for a shoot means arranging a blue saree first.

A Podcast Clip Changed Everything

Girija’s viral look came from an interview during a podcast. A short clip from the conversation was widely circulated on social media, following which several photographs of the actress in the blue saree also began trending.

Netizens showered praise on her appearance, with some even comparing her look to international actresses. Soon, names such as ‘Blue Saree Girl’ and ‘New National Crush’ started trending around Girija Oak.

The sudden popularity brought significant attention to the actress, but Girija has maintained a practical approach towards the social media craze. She has previously said that social media trends arrive like a wave and eventually fade away.

For her, the longevity of her work and acting career matters far more than temporary online popularity.

Girija Oak’s Take on the ‘National Crush’ Tag

Despite receiving the ‘National Crush’ tag, Girija has never treated it as a major personal achievement.

In an earlier promotional interview, she had humorously explained that she had not done anything special to earn praise for her looks, saying that her appearance was simply a gift from her genes.

Her co-star Kangana Ranaut had also jokingly suggested that Girija should make use of her beauty while promoting the film.

The viral blue saree may have become an unforgettable part of Girija Oak’s social media identity, but the actress’s career extends far beyond one viral appearance. While the internet continues to remember her as the ‘Blue Saree Girl’, Girija’s acting journey and independent identity remain equally significant.
