[tps_footer]It was a starry, starry night indeed. Cinema’s greats like the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor, Farhan Akhtar and Akshay Kumar joined forces, to make Bollywood designer Manish Malhotra’s show a memorable one.

Dressed in royal, typical Manish Malhotra-esque flamboyant creations, the quartet of superstars took to the ramp, to display the finery of Bollywood’s foremost couturier. Shehenshah Amitabh Bachchan led the way in a richly embroidered kurta-pyjama set, followed by Farhan Akhtar in a navy blue achkan. Akshay Kumar seemed to be channeling his inner Rowdy Rathore in a midnight blue-black creation, while Ranbir Kapoor was seen bringing up the rear (no pun intended there!) in a creamy white bandhgala and matching stole.

Also seen along with the four big boys was newbie Siddharth Malhotra.

WATCH THE MEN SIZZLE THE RAMP:
The event was the highlight of the fashion frat, which saw a host of Bollywood stars in attendance. The front row was dotted with Manish Malhotra regulars like Kajol, Tanisha, Shabana Azmi, Kalki Koechlin, Dia Mirza, Parineeti Chopra, and Javed Akhtar.

The fundraiser event, Men for Mijwan, was organised by firebrand actress Shabana Azmi, in association with Namrata Goyal, to showcase the chikankari work of the Mijwan girls. The founder of the fundraiser was Azmi’s late father, legendary poet Kaifi Azmi.

Manish Malhotra’s collection this time reflected the traditional heart of Indian handicrafts, coming from the palaces and mahals of Awadh, in Lucknow. His inspiration was clearly erstwhile royalty, and with the Bollywood royalty on his side, how could the show not be but a massive success?[/tps_footer]
