Celebrity kin adds glitz to designers' collection

Mumbai, Oct 23 : Daughter of Bollywood actor Shatrughan Sinha walked the ramp in designer Dev R Nil's collection during Lakme Fashion week in Mumbai.

Singh's daughter Sonakshi, was the only female model to showcase the spring summer collection of the designers.

"This collection is called the jig saw puzzle that what you saw and final piece of the puzzle is the feminine element which we have talked about and shown on the ramp. Luckily, we got Sonakshi as piece of the puzzle, which completes our jigsaw. We got a lot of endogenous elements though the whole collection and that's what we like to wear and that's the reason we have come up with this collection," said Nil.

Sonakshi, not a model by profession, said she wished to kick start her career in the glamour world.

"I felt pretty nervous but when I got here I calmed down. I have been around behind the scenes a long while now. Modeling is easier, designing is way harder. So I like modeling for now," she said.

Apart from Bollywood celebrities, the fashion show also saw the presence of former Australian cricket captain Mark Waugh.

"It's fantastic. It is the first fashion show I have been to so something new for me. I really enjoyed it," Waugh said.

LFW will involve events like media seminars, business-to-business meetings and a buyers' forum, apart from the regular shows.

Around 75 designers are showcasing their collections in this season of the fashion week.
