Ahead of the show, the singer revealed her connection with the street wear label.

"Growing up with a mix of American and Indian culture, I have always looked up to independent women around me and aspired to be one myself. I feel every woman has that Gundi inside her that is waiting to come out and stand up against all odds," Raja Kumari said.

"Through my songwriting and rapping career and the pieces from Gundi Studios, I have been able to connect my inner Gundi with myself. The concept behind each Gundi piece is so thoughtful and I am super proud to have been a part of their collection that embodies the spirit of rebellion and one that is inspired by the various movements involving powerful women," she added.

Watch Raja Kumari perform the track 'Shook' from her album Blood Line as she marked her debut on the ramp.
