She also greeted the audience with folded hands.

In conversation with ANI, Sonam Kapoor expressed her joy. 

She said, “I am so happy to be here for Gudda (Rohit Bal). I have been privileged to wear his clothes many times and to have him design clothes for me also many times. It feels wonderful to do probably his last show. The celebration of heritage, the celebration of craftsmanship. The idea is to celebrate everything beautiful and joyful. That was him. And I think in the same way, I love wearing clothes exactly like that.”

Sonam Kapoor shared a series of pictures of her look on Instagram.
