Among the intriguing designs, “Ghya Bhadang” stands out. Curious about its origin, we asked Sai for the backstory. She recounted, “The day you guys received Badshah’s call that I want to launch merch, then what would you guys have said ‘Ghya Bhadang, Badshah cha phone ala,’ it’s like that. It’s a celebratory term and is used when you have reason to celebrate.” She added that it’s a phrase often used by her brother, and she is thankful to him for allowing her to use it. This heartfelt anecdote made the design even more endearing.
