Could Farhan Akhtar look any less awkward? He walked the showstopper walk along with girlfriend Shibani Dandekar at Payal Singhal's show on Day 1 of Lakme Fashion Week. Dandekar is fan of the brand, she and Akhtar were spotted on the front row two seasons ago.

This time, however, the couple made an appearance as celebrity showstoppers, and while Dandekar looked very much at home on the LED-lit runway, Akhtar not so much. He kept the pace brisk and avoided extensive facetime that we are otherwise accustomed to during any celebrity walk of fame. What's that they say: short and sweet! It was a special show for Singhal, the designer who has built a brand on romancing effortless chic in the manner of signature prints, and is celebrating 20 years in the industry. Farhan will also be seen in The Sky Is Pink, which also stars Priyanka Chopra, Zaira Wasim.
