Fashion and Kareena Kapoor Khan go hand-in-hand. So it is not surprising that when the organisers of the ongoing Shop Qatar Festival 2018 decided to have a Bollywood-themed fashion show, the actor was their first choice. Kapoor will turn showstopper for designer Vikram Phadnis at the fashion show that will be held at Mondrian Doha, West Bay today. With this, she earns the distinction of being the first Bollywood actor to walk the ramp in Doha.

A source revealed that Phadnis has designed five ensembles for Kapoor to choose from. “Vikram is keen on Kareena sporting a red-and-burgundy lehenga that he has designed. But the final call will be taken by Kareena, after she sees all the outfits.”

Kapoor expressed her enthusiasm as she said, “I’m looking forward to walking the ramp and interacting with my fans there.”

Other Indian designers showcasing their works include Archana Kochhar, Nida Mahmood, Pallavi Jaipur, and Mandira Wirk. Sonu Nigam too is slated to perform.
