The setting: Kartik Aaryan and Triptii Dimri walk the ramp for celebrated fashion designer Manish Malhotra at 'Namo Bharat: Walk for Courage, Walk for Service, and Walk for Heritage'.
In an Instagram post, Malhotra said the fashion show was held on Tuesday night in Mumbai as part of the Seva Pakhwada (fortnight of service) to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 73rd birthday on September 17.
The fashion show, presenting Malhotra's 'Evara' collection 2024/25, saw models share the ramp with cancer survivors like Sonali Bendre, Tahira Kashyap, and Hina Khan as well as terror attack heroes.
"Last night was magical night. Ramp walks alongside models, terror attack heroes and cancer survivors, honouring our textiles, craftsmen, our heritage and culture during Honourable Prime Minister @narendramodi ji's legacy during #sevapakhwada2024.
.
"Our showstoppers took some time out of their jam-packed schedule @kartikaaryan @triptiidimri gave it a lot of love making all of it a memorable and worthwhile night (sic)" reads Malhotra's post.
It is a true testimony to the resilience of Indians, the beauty of the country's textiles. So much to learn," he said.
"Celebrating Hon. Prime Minister @narendramodi ji's birthday through Seva Pakhwada filled my heart with pride. Thank you to all the brave survivors for sharing your inspiring stories with us. Together, we honour the spirit of India! #SevaPakhwada, #Mandela, #Inspirational," the couturier added in an X post.
The Seva Pakhwada will continue till October 2, on the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, a practice the BJP has been following annually for the past several years.
