On Sunday, actors Ranveer Singh and Kriti Sanon, accompanied by fashion designer Manish Malhotra, visited Varanasi to offer prayers at the Kashi Vishwanath Temple before gracing the ramp for Malhotra’s fashion show.
Dressed in traditional attire, Ranveer and Kriti were spotted at the Dashashwamedh Ghat, with Kriti opting for a yellow kurta-pyjama set and Ranveer clad in a white kurta. Manish Malhotra was seen in pink and white attire. Ranveer also interacted with fans at the ghat, spreading smiles and waving at the crowd.
Expressing his sentiments, Ranveer told ANI, “I cannot express in words the experience that I have had today. Lifelong I have been a devotee of lord Shiva and I have come here for the first time. Next time I want to come here along with my mother.” Kriti added, “I came here ten years ago for an ad shoot but had no time. However, this time, I got the opportunity to go to the Kashi Vishwanath temple. I feel blessed. There is a vibration and energy in the city.”
Later in the evening, Manish Malhotra’s fashion show at Namo ghat showcased a collection promoting the handlooms and handicrafts of Varanasi, organized by the Indian Minorities Foundation. Ranveer and Kriti graced the ramp as showstoppers for a collection titled “Banarasi Saree – a tapestry of Indian culture and craftsmen,” with Ranveer donning a metallic and dark-colored sherwani, and Kriti stunning in a bridal red lehenga.
