"Janhvi told me to be calm": Khushi Kapoor on her debut ramp walk at ICW 2024
Jul 30, 2024
New Delhi [India], July 30 : Khushi Kapoor's excitement was palpable as she walked the ramp for the first time for Gaurav Gupta's collection 'Arunodaya' at India Couture Week 2024 on Monday. Reflecting on the advice her sister and actress, Janhvi Kapoor, had given her, Khushi felt ready to kill it on the runway.
While speaking to ANI, Khushi said, "Yeah, Janhvi told me to be calm, be present, and listen to the music. She also gave me some quick tips and just told me to be myself."
Janhvi had walked the ramp for Gaurav Gupta's collection titled 'Hiranyagarbha' at India Couture Week last year, setting a high bar for her younger sister.
Walking alongside Khushi was her rumored boyfriend, and 'The Archies' co-star, Vedang Raina. The duo's chemistry was evident as they walked the ramp for Gupta's stunning collection, their interactions on stage hinting at a deeper connection and adding a romantic touch to the evening.
Khushi Kapoor and Vedang Raina had previously marked their debut together as Betty Cooper and Reggie Mantle in Zoya Akhtar's Indian adaptation of Archie Comics, which premiered on Netflix. The film also starred Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda, Mihir Ahuja, Yuvraj Menda, and Dot, among others.
Talking about their outfits, Khushi dazzled in a glittering silver lehenga, paired with a bead-embellished blouse featuring flowing cape-style sleeves. Her high-waisted, fit-and-flare lehenga was adorned with geometric patterns and swirling stones. She completed her look with a multi-layered choker necklace, voluminous waves, and neutral-toned makeup.
Vedang Raina, complementing Kapoor's look, wore a sophisticated sherwani with a high neckline and long sleeves. His outfit, adorned with shimmering black beadwork, was paired with black trousers and brogues, making for a striking ensemble.
Gaurav Gupta's 'Arunodaya' collection, which means 'dawn' in Sanskrit, symbolizes hope and new beginnings. Gupta's collection perfectly embodied this theme, with each outfit reflecting the beauty of a fresh start.
India Couture Week 2024 kickstarted on July 24. Falguni Shane Peacock will be closing the fashion gala on July 31.
