Tamannaah Bhatia walks the runway twice at the opening show of India Couture Week 2025! Take a look
The 18th edition of Hyundai India Couture Week 2025 opened in Delhi on July 23 with a spectacle that was equal parts cosmic and grounded. Taking the stage for the first show of the season was none other than Tamannaah Bhatia, who delivered not one, but two stunning runway moments for designer Rahul Mishra's couture showcase. Tamannaah Bhatia with designer Rahul Mishra and wife Divya Titled Becoming Love, Mishra's latest collection was a visual exploration of the many stages of love as interpreted through Sufi philosophy — from attraction and obsession to the dissolution of the self. An extension of what he showcased at Paris Haute Couture Week, this collection was tailored for his devoted Indian audience, featuring motifs of blooming lotuses, Krishna's divine Raas Leela and the gardens of heaven. Yet, while the designs radiated beauty and craftsmanship, all eyes were on Tamannaah and her looks (yes, plural). Her first ensemble drew straight from a fairy tale as she gracefully sported a dreamy, hand-embroidered gown layered with intricate florals and shimmering sequins that seemed to shift hues under the light. The palette moved as she moved, capturing the slow fusion of the other and I, as happens in love. And if her first appearance was poetic, her second look was grounded in the glamour of Delhi's couture aesthetic. The 35-year-old actor returned to the runway in a dazzling lehenga beaming with embellished detailing and hand embroidered sequins that shimmered like stars on fabric. The silhouette may have been familiar, but the execution was refreshingly modern with an edge that only Tamannaah could bring. While Mishra's collection was conceptual, blending mythology, love, and galactic inspirations, it was Tamannaah who brought the narrative to life with grace and ease. She didn't just model the clothes, she embodied them. And since this was just the opening night, we can't wait for what's next.

Tamannaah Bhatia Opens Hyundai India Couture Week 2025 With Rahul Mishra's ‘Becoming Love'
Tamannaah lit up the runway in two breathtaking looks that embodied the mystical romance of Rahul Mishra's couture vision. The 18th edition of Hyundai India Couture Week 2025 kicked off in New Delhi on July 23, setting the tone with an ethereal yet rooted showcase by Rahul Mishra. Taking centre stage was Tamannaah Bhatia, who delivered not just one but two striking fashion moments, marking an unforgettable start to the season. Titled Becoming Love, Mishra's couture collection offered a soul-stirring interpretation of love through the lens of Sufi mysticism charting its emotional evolution from infatuation to transcendence. Drawing from the spiritual and symbolic, the designs incorporated divine imagery such as blooming lotuses, the celestial Raas Leela of Lord Krishna, and dreamlike representations of heavenly gardens. The collection, which followed his Paris Haute Couture Week presentation, was reshaped with the Indian audience in mind, steeped in cultural motifs and exquisite detailing. Tamannaah's first appearance on the runway was like a page out of a fantasy novel. She glided in a hand-embroidered gown bursting with floral intricacy and luminous sequins that shifted subtly under the spotlight, a living metaphor for the merging of souls in love. Every step she took revealed a palette that changed with her movements, echoing the gentle unraveling of the self into the beloved. Her second walk, however, grounded the dreamscape in sheer couture opulence. She reappeared in a dazzling lehenga drenched in ornate embroidery and star-like sequins. Though the silhouette paid homage to traditional forms, the styling felt utterly contemporary — polished yet bold, with Tamannaah adding her signature flair to the look. While Rahul Mishra's garments were a conceptual journey through myth, cosmos, and emotion, it was Tamannaah who truly animated them. She didn't merely wear the couture; she became its living, breathing embodiment. If the opening night was anything to go by, the rest of Couture Week promises to be just as spellbinding. view comments First Published: July 24, 2025, 08:02 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

What Premanand Maharaj Said To Devotee Asking For ‘Aashirwaad' To Cure Back Pain
Last Updated: A devotee approached Premanand Maharaj, asking for blessings to cure back pain. Premanand Maharaj, a well-known spiritual figure, is followed by countless devotees from across India and even abroad. Through his satsangs shared online, he speaks about both worldly matters and spiritual paths often engaging with people during live Q&A sessions. In one such video that recently surfaced online, a devotee approached him asking for blessings and claimed he was suffering from back pain. But instead of offering a spiritual response, Premanand Maharaj gave a very practical reply. He reminded the man that such health problems needed medical attention not spiritual intervention. 'Peeth mein dard hai toh baba ji isme kya karenge. Jaise kisi ko rog hai, kisi ko dard hai toh doctor ke pas jaye. Aashirvaad se nhi thik hota. Isi bhatkav mein sab bhatak rahe ho (If you have back pain, what will a Baba do? If someone is ill or in pain, they should go to a doctor. Blessings don't cure it. Everyone is getting lost in this kind of confusion)," he said. Along with his practical advice, Premanand Maharaj also reminded the man to live a good life by doing positive deeds. Watch the video here: This is why no one can hate Premanand Maharaj Ji ❤️ — Dimo Tai (@dimo_tai) July 6, 2025 This simple and honest answer struck a chord with people online. The video attracted a wave of positive responses. One user commented, 'The one and only sensible preacher these days." Another wrote, 'One of the few humans alive who are worthy of admiration." 'Finally, a baba talking sense and not chasing money…Well done," someone else remarked while a viewer added, 'He is already ahead of his times. He is some sort of an ideal baba guru our Hindu dharma needs." Who Is Premanand Maharaj? Premanand Maharaj was born in Kanpur, into a Brahmin family. His birth name was Anirudh Kumar Pandey. His father, Shri Shambhu Pandey and his mother, Shrimati Rama Devi, raised him in a religious environment. His grandfather first embraced sanyas. His father was a devotee and his elder brother would recite the Bhagwat Gita every day. From a very young age, Premanand Maharaj showed interest in spirituality. While other children played games, he spent time meditating, chanting and listening to stories of saints and holy scriptures. At just 13 years old, he left his home to walk the spiritual path. He followed in the footsteps of his grandfather and became a sanyasi. A turning point in his journey came when he was introduced to Raas Leela, the divine dance of Radha and Krishna, by a saint. This moment changed his life deeply. He then moved to Vrindavan where he started his spiritual practices at Banke Bihari's temple. Over time, Premanand Maharaj's teachings and presence began attracting more and more people. On Instagram, he has more than twenty million followers. On YouTube, his channel has crossed two million subscribers. view comments First Published: July 09, 2025, 17:51 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
