Introducing the episode, Rhea says, "I don’t think me and [Lara] ever go out just like on a sister date in Chennai.”
The duo are both seen wearing traditionally inspired outfits by Chennai-based designer Ashwin Thiagarajan and traditional Indian accessories. “I’m really excited about these outfits,” Rhea says in the video.
During the tour, the sisters stop at a nearby temple they frequent. “Well, this is just one that we like, we come to this temple all the time because it’s near where we are,” Rhea explains. Food also features prominently, with Lara noting her growing fondness for Karupatti coffee, while both speak about their liking for Kerala cuisine.
The episode ends at their grandparents’ residence in Adyar, where the sisters look through family photographs and discuss traditional Indian makeup styles seen in the images. The video closes with Rhea saying, “Thank you for coming with us around Chennai, our hometown city.”
Produced and directed by Vogue India, the short film situates the visit against the sisters’ ongoing music careers. Lara is the main vocalist of the global pop group KATSEYE, formed through a collaboration between HYBE and Geffen Records, while Rhea continues her solo work, including her 2024 debut album, 'Hunter.'
