Manav Gangwani's show was all about Bollywood celebs

Or is it typically expected of star-struck Delhi tribe? Either way, it's unacceptable to have actors snatch the spotlight away from fashion all for the sake of a photo-op. Like it wasn't enough of an incentive to have Bollywood stars Zayed Khan (with father Sanjay and wife Malaika), Dia Mirza, Aftab Shivdasani, Ritiesh Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandes, Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Khemu seated on front row, and relocating socialites Pinky Reddy and Tanisha Mohan to a close second, the designer was coaxed by president FDCI Sunil Sethi to hurry up the photo-call (a la Sabyasachi Mukherjee with Rani Mukerji and Vidya Balan).

On/off, maybe/or not couple Ritiesh Deshmukh sat at a safe distance (8 seats to be precise) from Jacqueline Fernandes while Kunal Khemu and Soha Ali Khan who couldn't be bothered with who was looking at them, sat next to each other. Though in Soha's defence, she did spend most of her time chatting with her left hand neighbour designer Ritu Kumar.

We are most impressed with Ritiesh. He was reluctant when Manav asked him to join the rest of the Bolly gang on ramp, and made a quick escape to his room upstairs at the Grand Hotel as soon as the show was officially over.
