New Delhi:
Actress Katrina Kaif looked aclassic bride in an ivory and gold lehenga-choli as she walkedthe ramp as the showstopper for Bollywood's favourite designerManish Malhotra on the fourth day of the PCJ Delhi CoutureWeek.
"I love wearing Indian clothes. But for my wedding Iwould choose something light, the one that I am wearing rightnow is very heavy at the bottom. Probably, when I get married,I will ask Manish to improvise a little. I would definitelywant him to design my bridal trousseau but then it all dependswhere he will be at that time," Katrina said.
Manish, on his part, said, "Katrina is beautiful and shelooks gorgeous in Indian clothes. So when I thought of thiscollection, I had just her in mind as a showstopper."
