The life of a Bollywood star comes with its share of paparazzi drama! Recreating the frenzy on the Lakmē Fashion Week x FDCI runway, Janhvi arrived in the Nexa e Vitara car for AFEW Rahul Mishra showcase.
As soon as she stepped out of the car, she was flanked by the paparazzi recreating the theatrics she faces on a regular basis.
Based on true events, and all done in good sport, the dramatized version of her real life took a glamorous turn when she untied the belt of her long black jacket featuring a trail, and unveiled the showstopper look of the evening.
Keeping it ‘Bold in Bandhani’ Janhvi’s corsetted dress reflects the parallel evolution of India’s Bandhani alongside Japan’s Shibori. A contemporary twist to Indian craftsmanship, Janhvi took over the runway with her dynamic runway walk. Fitting her like a glove, the strapless silhouette featured a sweetheart neckline, a thigh-high slit and intricate sequin embellishments that shimmered as Janhvi sashayed down the runway.
“I am thankful to Janhvi for agreeing to this crazy idea, which I had one evening and I quickly called her and said ‘You have to play yourself’. And the way she did everything I think it was mind blowing,” shares Rahul.
Janhvi who was present at the press conference, also thanked Rahul and Divya for what they have done not just for her but for Indian fashion. She loved how innovatively Rahul and Divya blended contemporary silhouettes with Indian textiles and she felt honoured to be part of the showcase.
“This is our third show together and I always feel the most confident when I walk for you. And that’s because they do it with so much love and shower the same amount of love on their team as well. I feel that’s so inspiring,” shares Janhvi Kapoor.
Further extending her gratitude to the paparazzi present at the event, Janhvi adds, “Thank you to you all because without the media hype I wouldn’t be able to do anything. I get my real confidence boost from you all.”
Janhvi Kapoor who has been one of Rahul Mishra’s muses at Paris Haute Couture Week in the past, celebrated Rahul and Divya Mishra’s vision for AFEW’s Fall Winter 2025 collection, The Silk Route at Lakme Fashion Week x FDCI.
The luxury pret collection drew inspiration from the rich history of the ancient trade routes that connected the East and West. Janhvi’s electrifying opening may have stole the show but the real showstopper had to be the collection.
