Bindi & barefoot The model-turned actress-turned politician-turned-actress returns to the ramp after decades for Gaurang Shah at Bombay Fashion Week Smriti Irani makes fashion statement Mona Smriti Irani, the renowned television actress and politician, made a striking return to the world of fashion after more than two decades, at Bombay Fashion Week, walking for Kishandas & Co by Gaurang Shah. Her walk down the ramp, barefoot and poised, was more than just a fashion statement; it was a moment that symbolised her journey through various realms — acting, politics, and now, once again, the glamorous world of television, followed by fashion. This marked her first appearance on the runway since the 1990s, when she began her career as a model, and her return was widely celebrated. Captured in a video that quickly circulated across social media, Irani wore a printed purple saree with flo- ral border, paired with a statement necklace, oversized sunglasses, and minimalist makeup. The ensemble was the perfect balance of elegance and simplicity, underscoring her sophisticated yet approachable persona, with her signature red bindi and sindoor in place. However, it was her decision to walk barefoot that truly sparked a conversation. While fashion events typically demand towering heels, Irani’s barefoot stroll was seen by many as a powerful, symbolic gesture. It stood as a defiance of the conventional norms of glamour, reflecting a deeper message about authenticity and comfort in an industry often defined by superficiality and glam. The video captured her swaying confident walk, which garnered praise not only from fans but also from fellow celebrities. The act of c m y b walking barefoot was widely interpreted as a statement of self-assurance, an act of breaking free from the pressures that often dominate fashion events. There are others who couldn’t keep calm, commenting on her walk as that of an invigilator in an examination hall. Irani’s return to the ramp was more than just a nostalgic moment; it was a reminder of her versatility. From her beginnings as a model in the 1990s to becoming a household name as Tulsi Virani in the iconic TV show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, she had already established herself as a multifaceted talent. Her transition into politics was marked by determination and resilience. Smriti Irani as Tulsi Virani, recently opened the doors of her home on in a reboot of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, this July, 25 years after it became a household name.
