A live performance by singer Kamaal Khan on popular Bollywood tracks, décor reflecting the golden period and actresses Bipasha Basu and Chitrangada Singh walking the ramp in true diva style made the grand finale of Shree Raj Mahal Jewellers India Couture Week 2014 a complete Bollywood affair.
While Chitrangada kicked off the show in a black voluminous Gauri and Nainika gown accessorised with a statement neck piece, Bipasha looked no less than a bride in a Rohit Bal lehenga and matching jewellery.
“Whenever I wear Indian outfits, I make sure of accessorising it well with jewellery and today I am feeling like a queen. I started my career as a model and it’s great to come back to Delhi again and walk on ramp. It was such a great welcome that I felt emotional,” Bipasha shared after the show.
As the actress was looking no less than a bride, it was obvious for her to get bombarded with questions on her wedding.
Asked that whether she would like to sport similar heavy pieces on her wedding day, she said: “I would love to look like a Bengali bride and I don’t mind if I get the chance to wear such beautiful pieces. Afterall, every bride wants to look her best on the most special day of her life.”
Chitrangada, on the other hand, took her inspiration from actress Marilyn Monroe when she walked down the ramp dancing and smiling.
“Yes I tried to replicate her (Marilyn) but it is not easy. Doing Marilyn is not easy for anyone. She was someone who has inspired many but I tried to give my best,” she said.
Also seen walking the ramp were filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar and model-actor Muzammil Ibrahim.
