Janhvi appeared as a showstopper for Malhotra’s ICW film. Titled Ruhaaniyat- A celebration called life, the couture film, as the designer mentioned, was meant as a “tribute to our diverse heritage and soulful artistry of the Indian craftsmen,” by depicting the “nazakat of Awadh and the vibrance of Punjab”.

“It’s a completely new experience to showcase my collection on a digital medium. There will not be the essential madness of runways but I guess, it will be a new learning. The collection explores masterful embroideries from Rajasthan, Ahmedabad, Kutch that are re-interpreted in my signature aesthetic and style, so expect that glamour and celebration in it,” Malhotra was earlier quoted as saying.
