Mumtaz Shines as Showstopper at Manish Malhotra’s Fashion Event
Esteemed actress Mumtaz made a captivating appearance as the showstopper at a recent fashion event hosted by designer Manish Malhotra. The show, which took place earlier this month, featured a remarkable lineup of talent, including fellow actresses Shilpa Shetty, Urmila Matondkar, and Khushi Kapoor, who shared the stage with the veteran star.
Mumtaz, known for her iconic roles, graced the runway in a stunning black saree designed by Malhotra, embellished with vibrant floral motifs along the borders. The event celebrated a blend of past and present cinema, and Mumtaz took a moment to reminisce about her experience on stage, highlighting the warm camaraderie with her co-showstoppers.
Sharing her sentiments post-show, Mumtaz expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming support she received from fans. “It was an absolute pleasure and fun working with Manish Malhotra. I am humbled by all the love,” she remarked in a video posted online, encapsulating the joyful atmosphere of the event.
In addition to her showcase as a showstopper, Mumtaz also posted her solo photographs from the night, exclaiming her delight at being featured in Malhotra’s collection. The designer himself acknowledged the significance of Mumtaz’s participation, noting the honor it was to have her as part of a showcase that celebrates the essence of Indian cinema.
Mumtaz, who enjoyed immense popularity in the 60s and 70s, was a celebrated figure in Bollywood. Having worked alongside legendary actors like Rajesh Khanna, Shashi Kapoor, and Dev Anand, she made a mark before stepping back from the limelight after her marriage to businessman Mayur Madhvani in 1974. The couple relocated to London shortly after, where they raised two daughters. Although she briefly returned to the film industry in 1990, her presence has become increasingly rare since her last projects.
