India Bridal Week in Mumbai - Day 1


23rd Sept. 2011: Today I had the pleasure of meeting India's sweetheart of yesteryears - actress Juhi Chawla Mehta. Juhi was crowned Miss India in 1984 and just a few years later, she wowed India in her debut film, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (with Aamir Khan as her co-star). The nation fell in love with this dimpled beauty and ever since then, she's acted in over 70 films.


Juhi was a guest of Bollywood costume designer Vikram Phadnis at his bridal fashion show at a Five Star Hotel in Mumbai. Vikram personally escorted her to the first row and after it was over, the lovely lady posed for pix with her fans and obliged the media with a few sound-bytes.


My friend - designer Rocky Singhvi - also had his bridal fashion show tonight and he had the stunningly gorgeous Amisha Patel walk the ramp in his show-stopping finale outfit. Amisha is another dimpled lass who set hearts afire with her roles in films like Kaho Na...Pyaar Hai (2000) and Gadar - Ek Prem Katha (2001).

Decked out in Indian bridal finery, Amisha looked like a million bucks and her mega-watt smile only added to the fabulous creation by Rocky S.


 And finally.....actor Neil Nitin Mukesh walked the ramp for Vikram Phadnis and wore a long sherwani, accessorised with a gold chain. His parents were in the audience and beamed proudly as their son - no stranger to being a celebrity model on the ramp - took to the catwalk with ease and elan.

Quite an eventful Bollywood evening this was!
