The finale of Hyundai India Couture Week 2025 in New Delhi was nothing short of spectacular, and all eyes were on the Gen Z duo — Rasha Thadani and Ibrahim Ali Khan — as they closed the show for veteran designer JJ Valaya.
With 33 years of fashion legacy, JJ Valaya’s latest collection titled East was a powerful reflection of Indian multiculturalism, presented through 60 intricately designed couture pieces. From terracotta elephants to women figurines and monks opening the show, every detail screamed grandeur. But it was Rasha Thadani and Ibrahim who truly stole the spotlight.
Dressed in black and gold ensembles, Rasha wore a striking lehenga paired with a monochrome leheriya dupatta, while Ibrahim walked beside her in a regal black velvet achkan with ethnic trousers. Their chemistry, poise, and confidence instantly lit up the runway, earning them immense praise both at the venue and online.
Rasha, daughter of Bollywood icon Raveena Tandon, first made waves with her dance number Uyi Amma in her debut film Aazad. But it’s her ramp presence that has social media talking. Reddit threads are abuzz with comparisons to other star kids, with many users boldly stating that Rasha outshone Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor, and Sara Ali Khan in her runway debut.
Their appearance not only marked a glamorous moment in the fashion calendar but also signaled the rise of a new generation of stylish stars ready to make their mark.
As JJ Valaya put it perfectly, Indian fashion is all about “details, details…details” — and Rasha and Ibrahim carried those details with elegance, confidence, and undeniable star power.
