Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone at Mijwan Fashion Show 2018
On Thursday, the magical pair of Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, together, graced the ramp for Mijwan - a social cause organised by Shabana Azmi. The two were a sight to behold in their traditional outfits, designed by renowned celebrity designer Manish Malhotra. In a black kurta with white flower embroidery, paired with a pant and brown shoes, Ranbir Kapoor looked every bit regal. On the other hand, Deepika Padukone looked ethereal in a white chikankari worked lehenga with a long heavy sequenced trail behind.
The magical reunion of former lovers, Ranbir and Deepika as showstoppers was definitely a sight to watch out for their fans and the spectators around. It got them all excited, and their fan clubs flooded social media with the Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani couple walking the ramp together at this annual charity fashion event. While Ranbir Kapoor has been the Goodwill Ambassador for Mijwan since past many years, it was Deepika Padukone's debut at the do.
