Janhvi Kapoor To Sara Ali Khan: The Bollywood Lehengas At India Couture Week
Bollywood stars grace the Hyundai India Couture Week runway in couture lehengas perfect for the wedding season.
Bollywood and Bridal Couture had their showstopper moments at Hyundai India Couture Week 2025, in association with Reliance Brands, an FDCI initiative.
Acing bridal couture on the runway were actors including Tamannaah Bhatia, Bhumi Pednekar, Janhvi Kapoor, Tara Sutaria, Sara Ali Khan and Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, who turned muse for couturiers Rahul Mishra, Ritu Kumar, Jayanti Reddy, RoseRoom by Isha Jajodia, Aisha Rao and Suneet Varma, respectively.
From honouring Indian heritage to celebrating contemporary styling, each lehenga had its own showstopper story to share on the runway. Here's a lowdown on which Bollywood celebrity wore what at the 18th edition hosted in New Delhi.
Sara Ali Khan in Aisha Rao
Collection: Wild At Heart
Sara Ali Khan celebrated Aisha Rao's collection, Wild At Heart, in a voluminous lehenga set perfect for the modern bride. Realised in the richness of teakberry, which was fresh and festive, the lehenga featured Aisha's signature applique embroidery reimagined with newer motifs such as cacti, palm trees and wild flora. Capturing the true spirit of Wild At Heart, Sara looked surreal as she glided down the runway, celebrating traditional craftsmanship with a modern ease.
Janhvi Kapoor in Jayanti Reddy
Timeless and transcendent, Janhvi Kapoor's showstopper lehenga was a celebratory confluence of heritage and innovation. Blending time-honoured techniques with a contemporary silhouette, Jayanti Reddy's showstopper ensemble from her collection Reclaimed Opulence was rich in artisanal detail infused with ornate embroidery and whimsical motifs. Janhvi Kapoor celebrated the modern bride aesthetic in this one-of-a-kind statement couture piece.
Bhumi Pednekar in Ritu Kumar
Bhumi Pednekar's showstopper lehenga set was a story of nostalgia reimagined with relevance and intent. Rooted in personal memory and archival exploration, Ritu Kumar's collection, Threads of Time: Reimagined, paid tribute to India's artisanal traditions – from the looms of rural craftsmen to the aristocratic mansions of Kolkata. Bhumi beautifully channelled the modern Indian bride in an intricately embroidered lehenga that celebrated culture through craft.
Ridhima Kapoor Sahni in Suneet Varma
Collection: Sehr
Riddhima Kapoor Sahni graced Suneet Varma's show, looking ethereal in the showstopper lehenga from the Sehr collection. Drawing inspiration from the mysteries of an enchanted forest, Sehr weaved together romance, drama, and delicate fantasy. Riddhima sparkled on the runway in a lehenga set featuring glistening embroidery and crystals married to a palette of pastel tints. Exuding quiet power on the runway, Riddhima looked radiant in Suneet's captivating couture ensemble.
Tara Sutaria in RoseRoom by Isha Jajodia
Tara Sutaria closed the Roseroom show at India Couture Week 2025 in a breathtaking off-white ensemble that embodied the collection's final chapter, I Am. Exuding quiet opulence and architectural romance, a gossamer organza skirt embroidered with delicate lace and Chantilly appliqué creates a sense of dreamlike movement. The ensemble was anchored by a hand-sculpted, 18K gold-plated corset, crafted over four months. Its baroque mouldings, inspired by classical French architecture, were adorned with pearls and mother-of-pearl enamel blooms, a wearable ode to devotion, craftsmanship, and inherited grace. Designed as a true work of wearable art, the piece reflects Roseroom's belief in couture as poetry, where every detail is an expression of devotion, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance.

Theatre must ask what society doesn't, says Faraz Khan
Faraz Khan, a Mumbai-based actor and director, believes that 'theatre should provoke, not pacify.' With his upcoming shows in Bengaluru, he brings together satire and social commentary, reviving his long-running play The Open Couple and presenting a new reading of Ajay Krishnan's Butter and Mashed Banana, which explores censorship and identity. Excerpts from a conversation: 'CENSORSHIP BEGINS IN THE ARTISTE'S MIND' For Faraz, censorship doesn't start with official authorities; it begins in the artiste's mind. 'We keep asking ourselves, 'Can I say this? Should I say this?' That's when you realise the real censorship is internal. There's a subtle pressure not to offend or be 'too much',' he says. 'A DIRECTOR'S JOB IS TO LISTEN TO THE PLAY' Faraz approaches direction with a sense of attentiveness. 'I always begin by asking, 'What does this text want?' Not what I want it to be. The politics, rhythm, pauses, and even the humour are all there in the writing. My job is to bring it out, not layer my cleverness on top of it,' he explains. 'WE NEED TO STOP RECYCLING THE SAME PLAYS' To Faraz, theatre should challenge, not comfort. 'We keep staging the same thing. But why not bring out new voices or rediscover forgotten Indian texts? There's a rich archive of Indian stories we haven't explored,' he adds. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo 'BENGALURU IS ALWAYS WILLING TO BE SURPRISED' 'There's something special about Bengaluru. The audience doesn't rush to react; they sit with a performance, even if it's unfamiliar or challenging. Whether it's Kannada, English, or experimental Tamil plays, this city makes room for all kinds of voices. And, the audience is open to being surprised,' says Faraz. 'YOUNG AUDIENCES ASK DIFFICULT QUESTIONS' Despite the dominance of short-form content, Faraz finds hope in younger audiences. 'They show up, they listen, and they're not afraid to ask tough questions after a show. That curiosity and that willingness to engage is where theatre truly grows,' he says.

‘He Wasn't Happy I Was Pregnant' Radhika Apte Exposes Industry Pressure
During a conversation with Neha Dhupia, actor Radhika Apte shared a distressing experience: during the first trimester of her pregnancy an Indian producer was insensitive to her insisting she wear tight clothes despite her discomfort and even denying her medical help on set.

Radhika emphasized she wasn't seeking special treatment, just basic empathy. Her revelation sheds light on the urgent need for more compassionate and inclusive support structures for pregnant women in the Indian film industry. Read More
