Senior Bachchan took to the ramp and gave a fitting tribute to celebrate designer Vikram Phadnis' 25 years in the fashion industry.

Bollywood choreographer-turned fashion designer Vikram Phadnis celebrated his 25 years in the fashion industry with a star-studded fashion show.

"Ever since I joined the glamour industry 25 years back, it has been a roller coaster ride. If I could turn back the clock I would not want to change a single moment of these glorious and memorable 25 years. The people I met, the friends I made, the work I did every single occasion is a beautiful memory now," he said, in a statement. 

Take a look at how he celebrated his success in Mumbai.
