Film folks made sure to be by Manish Malhotra's side when his mother Garima passed away on March 19, at the age of 94.
The designer was meant to have a show at the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week x FDCI, but he cancelled it, following her death.
Manish was very close to his mother, and has once told Subhash K Jha, "For me, I think as far as I can remember, from the age of five or six, I was in love with cinema and clothes. I used to dance to every song. I used to cut my mother's sari."
"My mother, who came from undivided India, was always conscious of English, so she gave me a tuition teacher in Standard 1. My mother told me a story that the tuition teacher told my mother, 'Mrs Malhotra, your son keeps commenting on my shoes not matching my dress, but he doesn't study.' She encouraged my love for cinema."
Varun Dhawan, seen here with wife Natasha Dalal, shares a close bond with Manish Malhotra, as the duo worked on the actor's debut film, Student Of The Year. Varun is also related to Manish -- his mother Karuna is the designer's cousin.
