The Rani Mukerji-Aditya Chopra wedding has upset one person the most: Designer Manish Malhotra. The man who gave Rani one of the most significant makeovers in Bollywood wasn’t invited to her wedding in Italy while Rani’s BFF designer friend Sabyasachi was invited and that too as a guest. Also, Sabya did clothes for some of the wedding functions for both the bride and the groom. Style observers would vouch that it was Manish who transformed Rani into a chic swan from an ugly duckling in Karan Johar’s Kuch Kuch Hota Hai in 1998. However, over the years, she’s gravitated towards Sabya, his brand of aesthetic and mutual love for macher-jhol.

It’s a well known fact that Sabya and Rani — both Bongs — bond like a house on fire. He’s styled Rani for many appearances and for editorial shoots. In fact, the ultra-reclusive actress has been his muse several times channeling the Kolkata chromosome vibe his collections radiate and also gracing the front row at his shows.
But one wonders how she forgot to invite her old good friend Manish Malhotra. Such is life dearies!
