malluaunty: Koena Mitra on the Runway

Bollywood actress Koena Mitra was the showstopper at the recent Bangalore Fashion Show as she glided down the runway in an elegant embroidered rust-red floor-length lehenga choli for designer Priyanka Thakur's traditional Indian collection called Bold & Bollywood. "Not only was she cheered the loudest, but even off the ramp she was chased by her fans eager to get their pictures clicked with her," said a source, "It got really tough for Koena to get away from them all."

Koena was enthused by the occasion and the designs. "Priyanka's show was special and I liked her collection," she confirmed, "I felt great wearing her beautiful ghagra-choli. People associate my style with Western outfits, so it was refreshing to carry off the Indian Bridal look. The outfit was heavy, but I guess that's the beauty of Indian clothes."
