Salman Khan Brings Royal Elegance to Vikram Phadnis’ 35-Year Fashion Celebration

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan made a rare and regal runway appearance at designer Vikram Phadnis’ 35th anniversary fashion gala in Mumbai on October 14, 2025. The grand celebration, themed “Vintage India,” paid tribute to Phadnis’ illustrious career in fashion, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics.

A Royal Walk Down the Ramp

Known more for his screen charisma than ramp appearances, Salman Khan captivated the audience as he turned showstopper for Phadnis. Dressed in a black silk sherwani-style jacket embroidered in gold and maroon, paired with a classic kurta-pyjama, he exuded understated royalty. His slicked-back hairstyle and minimal accessories perfectly complemented the designer’s elegant vision.

Walking with composure and signature grace, Salman’s presence was the highlight of the evening. Despite a visibly tight security arrangement following recent threats, the actor appeared relaxed and confident, drawing loud cheers from the audience.

Star-Studded Night of Fashion and Glamour

The fashion gala was a glittering affair, attended by a host of Bollywood celebrities, including Sonakshi Sinha, Sushmita Sen, Genelia and Riteish Deshmukh, Zaheer Iqbal, Zareen Khan, and Suhana Khan.

Salman was seen sharing warm moments with Bipasha Basu, Sushmita Sen, and Ameesha Patel, exchanging smiles and hugs backstage — moments that soon went viral on social media.

Celebrating 35 Years of Vikram Phadnis

Marking three and a half decades in the fashion industry, Vikram Phadnis’ collection celebrated India’s cultural heritage with intricate embroidery, rich textiles, and timeless silhouettes. The “Vintage India” theme showcased the evolution of Indian couture while honoring traditional artistry that defines Phadnis’ legacy.

What’s Next for Salman Khan

Following the fashion event, Salman announced his participation in “Da-Bangg The Tour Reloaded” set to take place in Doha, Qatar, on November 14, 2025. The tour will feature an all-star line-up including Sonakshi Sinha, Jacqueline Fernandez, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Prabhu Deva, promising another grand spectacle for fans worldwide.

Salman’s rare ramp walk reaffirmed his enduring charisma and ability to command attention — whether on-screen or on the runway.
