Fashion creator Ishita Mangal criticised Bollywood actors for disrespecting designers during fashion shows by engaging in casual chit chats and seeking blessings mid-ramp walk. Fashion content creator Ishita Mangal recently took to her Instagram handle and slammed Bollywood actors for disrespecting designers during fashion shows. She shared a video compilation of actors in which they were seen taking “aashirwaad", “chit chatting" in the middle of their ramp walks.
While one of the clips showed Ranveer Singh planting a kiss on Deepika Padukone’s cheeks during his ramp walk, Sidharth Malhotra also stopped midway to greet Zeenat Aman in another video. Nitanshi Goel was also seen seeking blessings from Hema Malini during her ramp walk. Ishita Mangal questioned these gestures by actors during fashion shows and accused them of disrespecting designers.
She lashed out at them and asked if they had started considering fashion shows as sangeet events. “I am officially done with Indian actors using fashion shows as family reunions. What’s with the blessing tour mid-ramp walk? Touching feet, meet and greet, casual chit chats.
I am confused. Are we at a sangeet or a fashion show? Respect and acknowledgement are great, but maybe showcase culture or values before or after the event," she said. “Designers pay big money for these events.
Stylists, choreographers, models, media people – they are all running on a tight timeline. Most of them have another show to run to after it. This isn’t just about disrespecting the designer’s vision, it is about wasting everyone’s time, including the audience," the fashion influencer added.
“We love our actors and the stardom that they have built but the only star on a runway show is a designer," she continued and then concluded by saying that actors must stop this “attention-seeking behaviour" of theirs. “You wouldn’t randomly start touching people’s feet in the middle of a movie scene, right? Well, this is a one-take shot. So stop this attention-seeking behaviour," she said.
