Time of India4 days ago
Janhvi Kapoor captivated at India Couture Week 2025, showcasing Jayanti Reddy's "Reclaimed Opulence" collection. She donned a blush pink fish-cut lehenga with saree-style pleats and a plunging neckline blouse, adorned with pearl-beaded chains. The collection featured rich, detailed designs with antique textiles, Dori work, and Indo-Western twists, solidifying Kapoor's standout runway presence among other prominent designers.
If there's one thing
Janhvi Kapoor
knows how to do, it's command a runway. On Day 6 of India Couture Week 2025, the talented actress turned showstopper for Hyderabad-based designer Jayanti Reddy, and the result was nothing short of spellbinding.
Draped in a dreamy blush pink fish-cut lehenga with saree-style pleats, Kapoor brought her signature blend of youthful glamour and old-school grace to the stage and made it abundantly clear: bridalwear is evolving, and she's leading the charge.
The look was part of Reddy's latest couture offering, aptly titled 'Reclaimed Opulence.' True to the name, the collection leaned into antique grandeur while speaking to today's bride, one who values tradition but refuses to be boxed in by it.
Kapoor's lehenga was the perfect embodiment of that narrative. While the fish-cut silhouette and soft tone spoke of understated elegance, the pleated drape mimicking a saree pallu added fluidity, making it feel both familiar and fresh.
What truly elevated the ensemble, however, was the blouse design. With a deep sweetheart neckline and delicately cut-out cold-shoulder sleeves, the blouse struck that tricky balance between sensual and sophisticated.

The detail that stole the show? A pair of pearl-beaded chains draping gracefully across her upper arms, giving the illusion of jewellery built into the garment. It was reminiscent of royal armour but make it haute couture.
Her dupatta, long and lightly embellished, was styled in a fuss-free, modern drape that didn't overwhelm the look. It felt like a gentle nod to traditional bridalwear while confidently moving into contemporary territory.
This wasn't a bridal outfit designed for the stage, it was meant for movement, for memories, for modern ceremonies under starlit skies.
Jayanti Reddy, known for her craft-first approach and maximalist aesthetic grounded in vintage textiles, leaned heavily into heritage motifs this season. 'Reclaimed Opulence' saw a celebration of age-old artistry - Dori embroidery, paisley and floral motifs, Baroque art flourishes, and Deco-inspired grids, brought to life through luxe fabrics, clever construction, and plenty of texture.
Tassels, fringes, khada dupattas, and layered silhouettes gave the collection a romantic, almost cinematic quality.
In many ways, Reddy's couture this year is redefining what 'Indian luxury' means. It's less about overt flash and more about depth, about owning one's culture with intention and pride. Janhvi Kapoor, with her rising fashion icon status and ability to oscillate between Gen Z glam and vintage charm, was the ideal muse for this message.
India Couture Week 2025 has already seen a dazzling line-up: Rahul Mishra's opening show set the tone with intricate threadwork and his signature storytelling pieces. Roseroom by Isha Jajodia and Suneet Verma dazzled on Day 2, while Falguni Shane Peacock and Amit Aggarwal added their futuristic flair on Day 3. Tarun Tahiliani and Manish Malhotra brought the drama on Day 4, and Ritu Kumar and Shantnu & Nikhil layered heritage with edge on Day 5.
Day 6 gave us Jayanti Reddy's quiet opulence alongside late Rohit Bal's timeless grandeur.
Yet, it was Janhvi Kapoor's runway moment that left a lasting impression. With each step, she embodied the modern Indian bride - unafraid of shimmer, unbothered by rules, and entirely in her element.
Whether you're a soon-to-be bride or just someone who appreciates the finer details of design, Janhvi in Jayanti Reddy is one of the fashion week's defining images. And if this is what the future of couture looks like, equal parts nostalgic and new, we are ready to walk that aisle.

'Saiyaara' actor Rajesh Kumar had only Rs 2,500 in his account; was in Rs 2 crore debt: 'I couldn't bring two chocolates for my kids'

Rajesh Kumar , best known for his roles in popular shows like 'Sarabhai vs Sarabhai', Excuse Me Maadam, and 'Kota Factory', is finally back in the spotlight. Thanks to his supporting role in 'Saiyaara', the actor has found his place again in the film industry. The romantic drama, directed by Mohit Suri and starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda , turned out to be a massive box office hit. Released in July, 'Saiyaara' opened to good reviews and shocked everyone with its numbers. The film has already made over Rs 400 crore worldwide and is expected to cross Rs 500 crore soon. While Rajesh is now enjoying success, has shared that he went through a very tough time not long ago, one that involved financial loss, emotional stress, and a strong comeback. Left acting and turned to farming In an interview with Meri Saheli, Rajesh revealed he once faced serious money problems. 'Bankruptcy, yes. The incoming and outgoing flow had gone for a toss. There was no incoming, and I had exhausted all my reserves because of the outgoing. I went under debt of Rs 2 crore,' he said. He added, '(Bankruptcy) is a big word, but definitely, I had that feeling with me for a long time. I was not able to generate money for survival also. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo This was definitely a phase.' Rajesh had decided to quit acting in 2019 and took up farming. But things didn't go as planned. He wanted to break the myth that farming is only for people with no better career choices. 'Nobody these days dreams of becoming a farmer when they grow up,' he said, explaining how he hoped to change people's views about farming. Lockdown worsened the money crisis Rajesh had barely started farming when things began to go wrong. First, weather conditions affected his crops, and then the pandemic made it even worse. Speaking to Rajshri Unplugged, he said, 'Financially, I was on a slide. By the lockdown, I had used up my savings, and was literally bankrupt. I didn't have anything in my pocket. I had huge loans, and that was adding to the pressure.'The lack of income during that time meant Rajesh couldn't even manage basic survival, despite trying his best. Just Rs 2,500 in the bank Rajesh also shared a heartbreaking memory of when he worked on a film called 'Binny and Family'. He had to travel to the UK for a 24-day shoot, but money was so tight that he couldn't afford to bring anything back for his children. In an interview with Dainik Bhaskar, he said, 'I had just Rs 2,500 in my bank account when I was in the UK. I traveled back and forth twice during that 24-day shoot, but I couldn't bring back even two chocolates for my kids. ' Family support kept him going Throughout this difficult time, Rajesh said it was his family that stood by him and gave him the strength to keep going. He admitted that he wasn't earning enough to even survive, and without his loved ones helping him out, he may not have made it through. A much-needed comeback with 'Saiyaara' Now that 'Saiyaara' has turned out to be a box office success, Rajesh finally feels like he's back where he belongs. The film has not only helped him return to the big screen but has also reminded fans of his talent. He plays Aneet Padda's father in the film.

Jamai No. 1 actress Simaran Kaur champions authenticity and balance online; says 'Social media is for us, not the other way round'

Actor Simaran Kaur , known for winning hearts with her charm and talent in Jamai No.1, is refreshingly candid when it comes to social media. With a massive fanbase that admires her for both her performances and authenticity, Simaran has a grounded perspective on how digital platforms impact actors and the entertainment industry. 'Social media is undoubtedly important for an actor — it's how we stay connected with our fans,' Simaran says. 'There are so many people who shower love, blessings, and support. That connection is beautiful. But I consciously limit my screen time. There's so much more to life that demands attention, and I've even set screen usage limits for myself.' While she acknowledges the significance of having a digital presence, she is equally wary of the pitfalls. 'It can quickly become addictive if you're not careful. But I've never let it control me. I always remind myself — social media is for us; we are not for social media,' she states firmly, reflecting her mindful approach. Simaran also addresses the growing industry trend of judging actors based on follower count. 'People often assume that a high follower count is equal to talent. But I don't agree. An actor should be hired for their skill, dedication, and the work they've done — not for their online numbers,' she says. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tetange: Unsold Furniture Liquidation 2024 (Prices May Surprise You) Unsold Furniture | Search Ads Learn More Undo 'Craft should always take precedence over digital popularity.' On the topic of oversharing, Simaran believes in striking a healthy balance. 'Some people put everything out there — every moment becomes content. I believe in boundaries. Not everything needs to be on display. But again, it's a personal choice, and everyone uses social media in their own way.' Her guiding principle, however, remains clear: authenticity. 'I've never tried to be someone I'm not. I don't strategize my posts or overthink them. I share what feels right, when it feels right. The key is to stay real — that's what truly connects.' Whether it's through her acting, her voice work as Nobita, or her popular dance reels, Simaran Kaur stands out for her sincerity. In an age of curated perfection, her realness offers a breath of fresh air — reminding us that staying true to oneself never goes out of style. Simaran Kaur: I got my first love letter in school
