ricket, fashion and music made a blistering combination at the Lakme India Fashion Week 2005.
India's cricket sensations,
Virender Sehwag, frontline bowler Irfan Pathan and middle order batsman Mohammed Kaif walked the ramp to Shantanu & Nikhil's designs.
Also showcasing their collections were Manish Arora, Rina Dhaka, Nandita Basu and Rahul Khanna & Rohit Gandhi.
The occasion was special -- it was Veeru and his wife Aarti's first wedding anniversary!
And who better than India's first Indian Idol, Abhijeet Sawant, to serenade the couple!
Abhijeet regaled the audience with his trademark
Mohabbatein lutaoonga, as well as
Kambakth ishq (from
Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya) and
Ishq kabhi kariyo naa (from
Musafir).
