Lakmē Fashion Week X FDCI: Aisha Rao’s Inter-Hana Finds Poetry In The Space Between Aisha Rao’s latest collection, Inter-Hana, presented at Lakmē Fashion Week X FDCI, delves into the concept of “in-betweenness” through fluid designs, in-house craftsmanship, and a striking closing look featuring Khushi Kapoor. The collection resists rigid definitions of occasionwear, instead embracing the ambiguity of lived experiences—those moments that exist between celebration and stillness, structure and softness, instinct and intention. Rooted in the idea of duality, the collection draws inspiration from the abstract botanical language of Japanese artist Fumi Imamura. Rao reimagines florals as evolving forms, moving beyond literal representation to explore emotion and instinct. This season marks a pivotal shift for the designer, as every textile is developed in-house, allowing the fabrics to become integral to the design process rather than mere surface elements. The result is a collection that lingers, its quiet confidence reflecting the complexity of the spaces between. Rao described the collection as existing in the liminal space between cultures, emotions, and occasions. She emphasized that life is rarely defined by clear moments but by the in-between: between versions of oneself, between emotions, and between structure and softness. This tension informs both the design and the narrative of the collection, creating a rhythm that balances intimacy and expansiveness. The garments move between categories, blending rootedness with romance, and avoiding the need for a single, definitive statement. The use of materials like organza, tulle, lurex, and mesh plays a central role in achieving this fluidity. Rao explained that the fabrics are not just decorative choices but foundational elements.#khushi_kapoor #aisha_rao #lakm_fashion_week #fdc_i #fumi_imamura
Khushi Kapoor Stuns In Aisha Rao Lehenga And Diamond-Sapphire Necklace At Lakme Fashion Week Khushi Kapoor made a striking entrance at Lakme Fashion Week as the showstopper for Aisha Rao’s runway presentation, dazzling the audience in an intricately embroidered lehenga and a standout diamond-sapphire necklace. The designer’s collection, known for its elaborate craftsmanship, featured pieces that are expected to become favorites in upcoming wedding seasons. Kapoor’s outfit, a brown-toned lehenga adorned with vibrant floral embroidery and paisley motifs, was paired with a sleeveless blouse, creating a harmonious and flowing silhouette. The actor’s look was further elevated by a maximalist necklace from SHREE Jewellers, a Hana design that combined diamonds and sapphires. Aisha Rao highlighted the piece’s design, noting that its collars aligned with the collection’s theme, featuring multiple sapphires to mirror the intricate detailing of the garments. The necklace, described as a “collar” in the collection, became a focal point of Kapoor’s ensemble, complementing the lehenga’s rich textures. Kapoor’s makeup was soft and fresh, with brown tones on her lips and eyeshadow, paired with a pink blush for a natural glow. Her wavy hair completed the look, adding to the overall elegance. In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Abhishek Agarwal and Kaushik Kumar, Managing Directors of SHREE Jewellers, confirmed that Kapoor’s necklace was part of their Hana collection, which blended vibrant gemstones and diamonds with rose-cut detailing. The brand’s designs drew inspiration from Art Deco aesthetics, reimagined through a contemporary lens to align with the garments’ structure and movement. The collection’s visual language was described as cohesive, with each piece reflecting the floral motifs of the clothing.#khushi_kapoor #shree_jewellers #aisha_rao #lakme_fashion_week #hana_collection
Madras High Court Issues Interim Stay in Sridevi Property Dispute The Madras High Court has temporarily halted proceedings in a property dispute involving the late actress Sridevi, granting an interim stay to the case. The order was issued to pause legal actions in a civil court in Chengalpattu, where competing claims over a piece of land along Chennai's East Coast Road were being contested. The court’s decision provides relief to Sridevi’s family, who have been challenging the validity of the claims. The dispute centers on a 4.77-acre plot purchased by Sridevi in 1988 from the family of Sambandha Mudaliar. Court records indicate that the actress and her family have held and used the property for over three decades. The conflict emerged when three individuals, including Natarajan and Sivagami—identified as the son and daughter of Chandrasekaran Mudaliar’s second wife—obtained a legal heir certificate and filed a civil suit in Chengalpattu, asserting their right to a share of the property. Sridevi’s husband, film producer Boney Kapoor, along with their daughters Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor, contested the suit in the Chengalpattu court, requesting its dismissal. However, the court rejected their plea, stating that issues of title and ownership could only be resolved after a full trial. The Kapoor family, dissatisfied with this ruling, appealed to the Madras High Court, arguing that the claimants had fraudulently secured the legal heir certificate through fabricated documents. In their petition, the Kapoors alleged that the claimants misrepresented facts to obtain the certificate from the Tambaram Tahsildar office in 2005.#janhvi_kapoor #madras_high_court #boney_kapoor #khushi_kapoor #sridevi
Boney Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, and Khushi Kapoor move Madras High Court over Sridevi’s Chennai property The Kapoor family has filed a petition with the Madras High Court challenging the rejection of a civil suit related to a 4.7-acre property on East Coast Road in Chennai, which was purchased by the late actress A. Sridevi in 1988. The dispute involves a claim by Chandrabanu and her two children, M.C. Sivakami and M.C. Natarajan, who allege they are entitled to a share in the property. The family of Boney Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, and Khushi Kapoor argues that Chandrabanu’s marriage to the original property owner, M.C. Chandrasekaran, was invalid due to bigamy, as Chandrasekaran was already married to M.C. Banumathi at the time. Justice T.V. Thamilselvi has scheduled a hearing for March 26, 2026, to review the Kapoor family’s joint civil revision petition. The court has stayed all further proceedings in the district court until then. The Kapoor family claims Chandrabanu knowingly misrepresented her marital status in the lawsuit, asserting that her marriage to Chandrasekaran on February 5, 1975, occurred during his first, legally valid marriage. They argue this omission constitutes fraud, undermining the plaintiffs’ claim. The Kapoor family also contends that the plaintiffs failed to disclose this information in their genealogy tree, which they say is a critical legal fact. They emphasize that the property has been in their possession for 38 years, and no disputes were raised during Chandrasekaran’s lifetime, who died in 1995. The family further notes that Sivakami and Natarajan reached majority in 1995 and 1999, respectively, and were unaware of the property’s alleged illegal transactions until 2023.#janhvi_kapoor #boney_kapoor #khushi_kapoor #chandrabanu #mc_chandrasekaran
