Drama off and on the ramp — that is Manish Malhotra's show, ladies and gents. Once criticised for introducing frivolity to fashion shows with showstoppers and star-studded front rows, he only kicked off a trend that's now the norm. At the designer's opening show on Tuesday night for Lakmé Fashion Week at Famous Studio, the front row was a full deck of perfectly shuffled Bollywood cards, with Karan Johar — its King face card, obviously — squarely seated in between Ishaan Khatter, Aayush Sharma, Khushi Kapoor, Dia Mirza, Athiya Shetty, Mrunal Thakur, Amrita Arora Ladak, Sophie Choudry, Kanika Kapoor and Chitrangda Singh.
