For Fawad, who made his debut into Hindi cinema in 2014 with the romantic comedy "Khoobsurat", this was the first time on the Indian runway and shared that the experience was "daunting".

Asked if it was his first time on the ramp in Delhi, Fawad said: "In Delhi for the first time? In India for the first time. Obviously (it was) very daunting..."


 



The showcase was held at the Taj Palace here on Wednesday, where the suave looking Pakistani star was welcomed to the ramp by loud cheers and whistles from the crowd as he walked in a black Kurta and deep maroon palazzo-pyjama and opened the grand show for the designer.
