At the Northern Haute Couture Fashion Show 2022, models were dressed in attires inspired by Alia Bhatt's Gangubai Kathiawadi.
Not just the outfits, but even the hair and makeup were similar to Alia's character in the film.
From sporting a Bindi to tying hair in a bun decorated with red rose, the models looked exactly like Bhansali's Gangubai.
"Izzat se jeena ka, kisi se darne ka nahi," Miss Star Malaysia 2023 wrote in the caption in Hindi as she shared the photo. Take a look!
Did you know Gangubai received an eight-minute standing ovation during its worldwide premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival earlier?
Revealing the same, Bhansali said that night he was in awe of his own movie. He said since he had watched the film at least 300 time already, he had no intentions to be in the theatre to re-watch it all over again. However, he said that the about 800 tickets were sold out within an hour, and later, he ended up watching the entire film with the audience. "The audience in Berlin clapped at my song Dholida. They enjoyed the music, humour and anger of my film. They clapped for eight minutes after the film was over. When I heard that standing ovation, I got my answer. It made all the pain and effort worth the while," he was quoted as saying.
The movie had become top non-English movie to screen to Netflix globally at that time. Elated on the success, Alia Bhatt said, "It¡¯s amazing to see how great stories continue to find new audiences, within India and beyond with Netflix. With all the love that Gangubai Kathiawadi has been receiving from its viewers all over the world, I¡¯m rendered speechless. I¡¯ve always aspired to work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and to have our film find a home on Netflix and receive the splendid response it did, fills me with gratitude."
