NGO Mijwan Welfare Society spearheaded by Shabana Azmi funds the education and welfare of the inhabitants of the ancestral village of legendary poet Kaifi Azmi - Mijwan. Manish Malhotra has been associated with this initiative since almost a decade. Many Bollywood A-listers have been known to walk the ramp for the event in the past.
As he continues his affiliation with the NGO, Malhotra posted a collage of Ranbir and Deepika donning his sartorial creations. He took to social media to announce the collaboration. The former couple will stride across the ramp at The Walk Of Mijwan Fashion Show on 9 April.
“#TheWalk of Mijwan #FashionShow...... 9 years of mijwan ... the journey ... #Muses...... the #fabulous #dapper #Charming #RanbirKapoor with the very #beautiful #stunning @deepikapadukone ... together for @mwsyouth @mmalhotraworld #mijwan #chikankari #womenempowerment @azmishabana18 @mantagoyal #manishmalhotraworld.”Manish Malhotra captioned his Instagram picture.
In another post, appeared a beige fabric with embroidery.

PVR in collaboration with Mijwan is set to screen a 60-second-long video which narrates the uplifting story around the NGO before the national anthem in theatres.
Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor were last seen together as an onscreen pair in Imtiaz Ali’s Tamasha.
