Manish Malhotra, Bollywood’s favourite fashion designer turns 50, and on his big day, here’s looking back at his stellar career, filmi obsessions and why the life of a Bollywood heroine is incomplete without walking the ramp for him. From Urmila Matondkar in Rangeela (1995) to Anushka Sharma in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016), there’s hardly an actress who he hasn’t transformed. Manish is a favourite among the men too. He's put Indian fashion on the global map and that too without ever having a degree from a design school.
Thank you for making our films, our favourite stars and us so stylish. Happy birthday Manish Malhotra!
