Sanjana Jon's "starry" show at WIFW with celebrity siblings turned rough as the crowd trying to catch a glimpse of their favourite superstars caused confusion and chaos.
Sanjana Jon's "starry" show at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) with celebrity siblings turned rough here as the crowd trying to catch a glimpse of their favourite superstars caused confusion and chaos forcing them to leave in a hurry.
Jon's debut at the WIFW brought the who's who of Bollywood and other celebrity siblings including Salman Khan-Sohail Khan, Sushmita Sen-Rajiv Sen, Riya Sen-Raima Sen, Amaan Ali Khan-Ayaan Ali Khan, Shibani Kashyap, boxing champion Vijender Singh and his brother, music composer Sajid-Wajid.
Sanjana, sister of celebrity Indian-American fashion designer Anand Jon, who was sentenced to 59 years of imprisonment on rape and sexual assault charges by a US court, has been campaigning for her brother's release and the show was part of it.
The news of Salman Khan getting out to interact with media spread like wildfire followed by a chaotic scene, which led the star to leave no sooner as he arrived.
"The bytes will be taken here, it's so crowded. I better take leave," Salman said.
"Sanjana is a very dear friend and she has suffered a lot during her brother's trial. I have interacted with Anand and I never felt he was a bad guy. She went through a lot of trauma and is trying to financially rebuild herself and I will help her in whatever way I can," Salman had said earlier.
The theme of the show was to hightlight the importance of love between siblings and Indian family values.
"All of them are like my brothers. My show is an attempt to show family values," Sanjana said after the show.
But the event was a huge exercise for the security with media and crowd going into a frenzy to catch the stars.
"Everyone jumped onto the stars and created a furore but maybe the interaction should have been done inside the show area.
It would have been easier for us to handle the crowd then," a security guard told PTI, adding that a proper stage should have been created to keep a tab on the crowd.
Actress Sushmita Sen, who hit the runway with brother Rajiv Sen, looked stunning in a little black dress. Sen, in her diva style, carried a cheerful smile as she posed for the shutterbugs.
Salman, who walked with brother Sohail, had donned a black shirt and trouser with a gold studded belt. The actor managed to attract a fair share of female attention, with many requesting him to strip.
"Salman look here, please remove your shirt," a female fan shouted amid the chants of 'Salman, Salman'.
The show also highlighted the cause of saving the girl child with singer Shibani Kashyap getting her niece to walk the ramp along with her.
"Sanjana is a very dear friend of mine and I have known her and Anand for years. I brought my little niece and it was good for all of us to come together for her cause," Kashyap said.
