Sonam Kapoor, though unfortunately coincidental, was wearing one of Rohit Bal’s beautiful designs when she received the heartbreaking news of his death while travelling to a Diwali celebration. Sonam thought back on their times together and how much she admired his artistic ability through a heartfelt tribute to the legendary designer on her Instagram page.
Sonam Kapoor’s homage to the designer is among the most wholesome tributes any fashionista could have paid for Bal. Sonam Kapoor, a fashion icon in her own right, has worked with Rohit Bal on several occasions and has also walked the runway for his shows. Kapoor paid a moving homage in a recent social media post, and there couldn’t have been a more fitting or appropriate manner to do it. Sonam Kapoor wore a gorgeous fusion of Rohit Bal’s recent and vintage designs for a Diwali party. Sonam wore a golden netted shrug over a white anarkali-style dress. She finished it off by wearing a really stylish piece around her neck that was etched with a 3D rose.
She posted several pictures from his couture. Sonam also shared one of her final conversations with the designer, in which she complimented him on her performance at the most recent Lakme Fashion Week 2024. ‘Love You’ was Bal’s last reply to her. Sharing the pictures on Instagram, Kapoor wrote, “in Gudda for Diwali. Forever and Ever. 🕊️ In Rohit Bal ‘Husn-e-Taihrat’ 2015 ‘Kroshni’ 2016 ‘Kaynaat’ 2024.
Manish Malhotra, Ananya Panday, and other Bollywood celebrities paid their respects to Rohit Bal on social media. Ananya, who just had the privilege to serve as Rohit Bal’s ‘last’ muse in his homecoming show at Lakme Fashion Week 2024, expressed her deepest condolences and added, “Gudda Om Shanti.”
Meanwhile, renowned designer Rohit Bal, who significantly transformed Indian fashion, died on November 1 at the age of 63.
