He is The Chocolate Boy, with courtly manners and looks that bring back memories of your college sweetheart.

She's got impish 'nawabi swag'. She is, after all, the daughter of the nawab of Pataudi.

Together, with their double-barrelled names, they marched to the beats of The Power Of Love.

Actors Sara Ali Khan and Aditya Roy Kapoor unveiled Shantanu & Nikhil's collection Etheria at FDCI India Couture Week, New Delhi, which took the audience on an armchair tour of Italy, as they let them indulge in the 'grandeur of Roman places'.

Aditya's kurta had a a cute and handy little gamcha sticking out from his pocket, for wiping his handsome brow.

Shantanu and Nikhil have been dubbed the 'original drape creators for men'.

In minty-fresh fits elegant enough for emperors with ice cream cravings on their minds.

Instead of this kind of frills giving off whiffs of perfume, nail polish and lavender, you can almost smell tobacco, Old Monk and leather wafting off these gents and their lace.

Certainly not a look for the kum is zyada bandwagon.
