Janhvi Kapoor And Sidharth Malhotra Bring Param Sundari Energy On The Runway
Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra turn showstoppers for Gaurav Gupta's first-ever bridal couture show in Mumbai.
Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra brought the Param Sundari energy to Gaurav Gupta's first-ever bridal couture showcase.
Embracing the bride and groom of today and tomorrow, Gaurav Gupta styled Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra in timeless and opulent creations from the Quantum Entanglement collection.
A tribute to love, ritual and endless possibilities of reinvention, the Param Sundari stars walked hand in hand on the runway. Janhvi, who has walked for Gaurav Gupta at India Couture Week in 2023, looked surreal in a heavily embroidered lehenga paired with an off-shoulder blouse and veil with intricate embroidery on the border.
The highlight of the lehenga was the iconic Gaurav Gupta infinity logo embellished on the waistband of the lehenga. From the understated glam to the contemporary kalires, each element in Janhvi's showstopper dreamy bridal look celebrated the grace of a modern Indian bride.
Complementing his Sundari's bridal look, Sidharth Malhotra's ivory sherwani with tonal embroidery came with an ivory shawl, adding royal opulence to the modern Indian groom style.
A perfect platform to promote their upcoming film, Param Sundari, Janhvi and Siddharth's showstopper bridal couture looks set the tone for the upcoming wedding season. Celebrating Indian royalty, Gaurav Gupta reimagined the traditional bride through a series of silhouettes crafted in handwoven Banarasi brocades, antique zardosi embroidery and chantilly lace sourced from historic French mills.

Marking his most rooted collection to date, this moment has been a year in the making, a deliberate creative pause from the Paris Haute Couture calendar to focus on something far more intimate: a homecoming. Each piece was envisioned as a future heirloom, one that holds ancestral memory while reflecting the individuality of a new generation.
Joining in the celebrations at the Mumbai showcase were an array of Bollywood celebrity guests such as Malaika Arora, Khushi Kapoor, Vijay Varma, Disha Patani, Nitanshi Goel, Neha Dhupia, Angad Bedi, Kiran Rao, Anshula Kapoor and Shriya Saran, among others.
Gaurav Gupta is one of the most loved designers whose creations have been celebrated on global platforms by iconic international celebrities, including Beyonce, Shakira, Cardi B, Rihanna, Halle Berry, Katy Perry, Joey King, Taraji P Henson, among other noted names.
