In Photos, Ishaan Khatter Proves Men Can Rock Anarkali Without Breaking A Sweat

With Diwali just around the corner, celebrity fashion designer Manish Malhotra recently kicked off the celebrations in the tinsel town. He hosted a lavish pre-Diwali event on October 12. Held at his opulent

Mumbai residence, the event was a star-studded affair with a jaw-dropping guest list of Bollywood bigwigs.

Among all the celebrities, Ishaan Khatter graced the party in a regal anarkali-styled kurta paired with a churidar and a draped dupatta. Several photos and videos from the event are surfacing online, and the ace designer has now dropped a fun selfie with the actor on social media.

In the snap shared on his Instagram story, Manish and Ishaan were seen exuding their million-dollar smiles as they posed for the picture. He tagged the actor and dropped a simple heart emoticon.

The glittering ceremony also saw the who’s who of Bollywood, turning heads in their fashionable outfits. From sequins to silk, the stars transformed the event into their fashion runway. Ananya Panday brought her Gen-Z charm in a golden embellished lehenga that screamed festive glamour, Kareena Kapoor arrived looking like royalty in a white anarkali, and Sara Ali Khan turned heads in a coral-pink lehenga with delicate embroidery and silver accents.

Other stars who graced the event were Nita Ambani, Suhana Khan, Radhika Merchant, Riteish Deshmukh, Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal, Shilpa Shetty, Genelia Deshmukh, Rekha, Urmila Matondkar, and Chitrangda Singh, among others.

Ishaan Khatter’s Last Project

The actor last starred in Neeraj Ghaywan’s emotional drama, Homebound. The film revolves around two childhood friends—Shoaib (played by Ishaan Khatter) and Chandan (played by Vishal Jethwa), who set out to become police officers to save themselves from the deep-rooted discrimination they face. Set in a North Indian village, the emotional drama shows how life tests their bond as police exam results are delayed and desperation grows in this quest.

Headlined by Ishaan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa and Janhvi Kapoor, the film is backed by Apoorva Mehta, Somen Mishra, Karan Johar, and Adar Poonawalla under the Dharma Productions banner.
