Sanjeeda Shaikh Took Everyone's Breath Away

Sanjeeda Shaikh, best known for her recent role as Waheeda in the stunning, larger-than-life Netflix series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, appears like a vision in the brilliant glare of the arclights at Bombay Times Fashion Week 2024.

She then floats down the runway -- dreamily -- as the showstopper for Royal Ally by Salina Samal.

The collection, while deeply classical, speaks for the modern woman -- bold, independent, and unapologetically herself.

Her attire, as lavish as something from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's production, is paired with statement-wali chandbali earrings and cascading waves of hair. She is the epitome of elegance and confidence, turning most heads in the room. All photographs: Hitesh Harisinghani/Rediff.com
