Bollywood’s Ranveer Singh and Kriti Sanon recently lit up the runway along the serene banks of the Ganges in Varanasi. They were part of a fashion extravaganza orchestrated by designer extraordinaire Manish Malhotra. The show celebrated the timeless elegance of Banarasi sarees, showcasing the rich tapestry of Indian heritage.
Ranveer Singh couldn’t contain his excitement, expressing how walking the Varanasi ramp surpassed any glamorous catwalk in Mumbai’s plush banquets. He showered praise on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his initiatives supporting the weaver community, whose craftsmanship was on full display.
Kriti Sanon, resplendent in a dazzling Banarasi lehenga, chimed in, emphasizing the painstaking efforts behind each handwoven masterpiece. She advocated for sharing this cultural treasure with the world, citing Varanasi as a shining example of ‘Vikas Bhi Virasat Bhi’ (development along with heritage).
Social media buzzed with enchanting snippets from the event, capturing the duo’s graceful stride amidst a backdrop of fireworks and traditional melodies. Prior to the show, Ranveer and Kriti, along with Malhotra, sought blessings at the revered Kashi Vishwanath Temple, adding a spiritual touch to their memorable visit.
