New Delhi: Bollywood youth icon Ranbir Kapoor turned showstopper along with model-turned actress Katrina Kaif at the Rohit Bahl show of Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week in Delhi but says he was nervous while sashaying the ramp with her.

"I was pretty nervous to face the stage with a veteran model like Katrina. The idea of walking the ramp with her made me go blank every time I thought of it. It was she who led me beautifully to the stage making me feel comfortable with her," says Ranbir, who was here with Katrina to promote their film 'Ajab prem ki gajab kahani' set for release on November 6.

Donned in Rohit Bahl's exotic collection Ranbir emerged in cream colour sherwani-style coat with pyjamas and Katrina had an embellished similar colour tunic to team up with him.

With models such as Muzzamil Ibrahim, Carol Gracias, Jessy Randhawa, Nayanika Chaterjee and Lisa Hayden, Bahl's says his show at the grand finale of the fashion week was based on 'Exotic India' signifying the country's inherent luxury.

"My collection signifies the golden bird and the golden peacock which India was known before the British era. The collection is called 'Yasas', a name which the nation was once known by for its elegance and grandeur," Bahl says.

"The fabric used in form of rich velvet, net, muslin in deep red, green shahi (princely) colours portrays the Indian woman," Bahl says. Bahl says Bollywood stars add an 'X-factor' to fashion shows besides the models on the ramp.

Appreciating Bahl's work, Katrina says, "Rohit has always been innovative, passionate and fearless about his designs and creations which make him the cherry of the cake. His designs have always left the audience applauding."

On Ajab prem ki gajab kahani, she says love is ajab rather than gajab. "Love is more Ajab than Gajab. To the outsiders, it may seem ordinary but for the two in love, it's rather strange."
