Sonam Kapoor struggled to hold back tears as she walked the ramp to pay tribute to late fashion designer Rohit Bal at the Blenders Pride X FDCI Fashion Tour 2025, held in Gurugram on Saturday. The Saawariya actor, who donned a Rohit Bal creation, was visibly emotional as she honoured her longtime collaborator. Sonam has walked the ramp for Rohit Bal on multiple occasions and shared a close friendship with the designer. Rohit Bal passed away in November last year.

Sonam graced the runway in a stunning Rohit Bal ensemble, featuring a long white dress paired with an intricately designed ivory floral jacket. Her hair was styled in a sleek bun, adorned with roses. As she walked the ramp, she held back tears and greeted the audience with folded hands.

In an interview with ANI, Sonam Kapoor expressed her emotions about walking the ramp in a Rohit Bal creation. She said, “I am so happy to be here for Gudda. I have been privileged to wear his clothes many times and to have him design clothes for me also many times. It feels wonderful to do probably his last show. The celebration of heritage, the celebration of craftsmanship… the idea is to celebrate everything beautiful and joyful. That was him. And I think in the same way, I love wearing clothes exactly like that.”
