In a nod to Bollywood’s golden era, celebrated designer Manish Malhotra unveils a contemporary spin on the ‘Bole Chudiyan’ lehenga from ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’. Starlet Nysa Devgan, daughter of Bollywood power couple Ajay Devgn and Kajol, models the exquisite piece with effortless charm.
The 2025-26 version retains the song’s festive vibrancy—think shimmering dupattas, heavy embellishments, and flowing silhouettes—while updating for modern silhouettes. Malhotra’s Instagram reveal has fans gushing, reminiscing about Kareena Kapoor’s iconic dance sequence that defined wedding fashion.
‘This song revolutionized sangeet ceremonies,’ Malhotra wrote, crediting Karan Johar’s vision. His designs from the film have inspired generations, with clients worldwide requesting custom versions. From Anita Kumar’s runway struts to bridal trousseau essentials, the look’s popularity is unmatched.
Malhotra’s four-decade legacy began in 1990, pioneering styles that evolved from silver screen to streetwear. Nysa’s youthful energy infuses the classic with Gen Z appeal, making it relevant for today’s trendsetters.
‘Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham’ endures through viral challenges and fashion tributes. Kareena’s bold persona resonates, blending glamour with relatability. Malhotra’s revival ensures this piece remains a wedding wardrobe must-have, bridging past and future in spectacular style.
