At one point, the Om Shanti Om actor pointed at the sky and looked up, remembering the ace designer.
While addressing the media, actor Arjun Rampal said, "Legends never die" as he paid rich tributes to his close friend and popular designer, Rohit Bal.
Describing the late designer's positive energy, he said that the best part about Rohit Bal was that he never took fashion seriously. "Rohit said, 'Fashion is fun, and you should have fun with it'. We saw that in his clothes and his shows."
"The team sent me this sherwani, and when I unzipped it, there was a fragrance - like a Gudda's (Rohit Bal) fragrance that his clothes have. There was a certain scent to that outfit. It's in no other outfit that I have ever worn," Arjun Rampal continued as he addressed all reporters in the crowd.
Arjun Rampal praised Rohit Bal's team for putting together a great collection. "He must be dancing up there and feeling happy. He must be proud of you guys for putting this collection together. God bless you. And as I said, legends never die, they live on."
The show ended like a signature Rohit Bal show. All the models, along with the brand's team and Arjun Rampal, danced as the audience clapped and gave a standing ovation to the late designer.
This is not the first time the 52-year-old actor walked for the ace designer. Arjun Rampal has walked for him several times, including the grand finale of his Kashmir-inspired collection - Gulbagh - where he walked for him as the showstopper.
About The Collection
Called Kash-Gul, the collection draws inspiration from the serene beauty of Kashmir. "KASH-GUL is a reflection of the soul of Rohit Bal. In every stitch, there's memory; in every silhouette, a sense of home,' says Fraze Tasnim, Creative Director at Rohit Bal Couture.

'There is like a garden in Changi Airport, Singapore, and Hamad International Airport, Doha, Qatar, but this is like another level, because the whole airport is covered with green. Is this fake or natural green?' he wondered aloud. He continued, 'There is a garden at some airports, but this is not garden, like whole airport is like garden. Oh my gosh, is this real or not? Oh I think it's real. All plants here are real, but there is no like insect or something.' Due to limited time, he concluded the video by saying, 'This is a shopping area, but I don't have much time today. My boarding is already started, so I have to hurry.

RJ Mahvash Buys Cricket Team In This League, Captain Is Ex-IPL Star
The auction for the inaugural CLT10 (Cricket League T10), a three-day tennis ball cricket tournament, took place in Delhi recently. Notable TV personalities like Sunny Leone and Prince Narula were present at the auction, having invested in teams. Influencer RJ Mahvash, who has been linked with Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, also acquired a team at the auction. Mahvash entered the cricket ownership business as she bought the Supreme Strikers team, which will be led by former Australia opener Shaun Marsh. Mahvash was seen sporting a cream-coloured matching top and skirt set at the event. She also took to Instagram to share some sneak peeks from the auction, highlighting her commitment to her new role as a team owner. "Team RJ Mahvash locked with Captain Shaun Marsh," Mahvash captioned a post on Instagram. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mahvash (@ Recently, Chahal, during a chat on Raj Shamani's podcast, was asked if anything is going on with Mahvash or anyone else. To which, the cricketer replied, "No, there's nothing. People can think whatever they want to think." "For the first time, when I was seen with someone, people started linking us right away. Even though she clarified it, it was very hard for her. She was called a homewrecker... people said really nasty things. I felt terrible... We could not step out together," he added Talking about their pictures from a Christmas dinner, Yuzvendra stated that it was blown out of proportion. "We had a Christmas dinner with five people, but the photo was cropped to make it look like just the two of us were on a dinner date. It got to a point where we couldn't even go out with friends without worrying about what people would say," he said. Though Chahal hasn't represented India since August 2023, he continues to be active in domestic cricket and the IPL. Chahal's latest competitive matches were for Northamptonshire in the County Championship, where he picked up four wickets against Kent in the first innings but went wicketless in the second. He had a similar outcome against Middlesex. In IPL 2025, Chahal played an important role for the Punjab Kings, claiming 16 wickets in 14 matches at an average of 26.87.

Classic, Charismatic, And Unforgettable: Decoding Shah Rukh Khan's Style Legacy
Last Updated: In his career spanning 33 years, Shah Rukh Khan won his first National Award. This makes for the perfect time to decode his style. It was a moment of cinematic glory as Shah Rukh Khan, the undisputed King of Bollywood, took home his first-ever National Award last night. This makes for a perfect time to take into note the quiet power of his style, something fans and fashion watchers alike have admired for decades. Because with Shah Rukh Khan, it's never just about the movies, it's about the man, the mystery, and the unmistakable mood he brings to every appearance. From the '90s romantic hero in flowing shirts and windswept hair to the suave, sharply tailored global icon he is today, Shah Rukh Khan 's fashion evolution is a masterclass in timeless charm and quiet confidence. Shah Rukh Khan rarely follows trends. Instead, he builds looks around silhouettes that suit him: tailored suits, well-cut jackets, and luxe textures like velvet or silk that subtly elevate without screaming for attention. His colour palette? Strong, monochromatic staples, think blacks, deep navy, charcoals, with the occasional jewel-toned sherwani or embroidered detail that nods to tradition. Takeaway for the Modern Man Khan proves that fashion doesn't need to be flashy to be effective. Fit is everything. Whether it's a tux or a tee, the right fit can elevate your presence without a word. Accessorising is minimal, perhaps a watch or sunglasses that exude quiet swagger. He lets his aura do the talking, and that in itself is a style lesson. Fashion That Ages Like Fine Wine While many actors experiment wildly over the years, Khan's evolution has been steady and thoughtful. His fashion reflects his journey: elegant, self-assured, rooted. He embraces age with grace, no attempts to stay 'young' through trends, just a growing refinement of personal style. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gauri Khan (@gaurikhan) In cinema and style, Shah Rukh Khan continues to lead with quiet authority.
