At a time when her music career was already celebrated across decades, Veteran Indian singer Asha Bhosle had once surprised many by stepping onto the runway for Manish Malhotra.

The moment had taken place in March 2013, when the Radha Kaise Na Jale singer walked at one of the designer’s fashion shows. She had expressed a wish to walk the ramp, and the opportunity was arranged during the event.

Manish Malhotra later recalled the memory in a social media post. He wrote, “These are pictures when you were at my fashion week show… You said I have one ichcha to walk on the ramp, and when we asked you to, you walked with so much elan, style, and happiness.”

He had also shared how the audience reacted during the show. “Everyone in the audience stood up as a mark of respect… something I haven’t seen ever,” he wrote.

During the walk, Asha had been seen interacting with people present at the venue. In some moments from the event, Priyanka Chopra had also been standing alongside her and the designer.

The Tere Pyar Ka Tohfa singer had remained active in public life for many years and had received wide recognition for her long career in music. Her appearance on the runway had become one of the memorable highlights outside her singing journey.
