Rohit Bal, a legendary fashion designer, was renowned for his ability to infuse charm and modernisation into Indian wear. His work was a testament to his dedication to showcasing Kashmiri heritage. Rohit designed his first outfit at the age of 19, a precursor to the many successful shows that would follow. His influence on the world's perception of Indian outfits was transformative, and his legacy will continue to inspire, even as he has departed for the heavenly abode at the age of 63.
On November 1, 2024, Rohit Bal, at the age of 63, passed away from heart complications, leaving the world in deep sorrow. He was a pioneer of the Indian fashion industry, and the nation will always remember his contributions to the world of fashion. Rohot hosted his last show on October 14, 2024, even when he was unwell and struggling to walk, but he truly followed the quote that, 'the show must go on.'
As we went down the memory of his last show, we noticed that Rohit struggled to walk at his last show and had to be supported by someone to stand still. Ananya Panday was the showstopper at his last show, and the actress gave him a rose as an act of respect. Ananya even held Rohit's hands and helped him to walk and stand.
Rohit Bal presented Kaaynaat: A Bloom in the Universe at his last show, a seamless blend of traditional Indian aesthetics with a modern flair, replete with his signature lotus motifs and exquisite Kashmiri embroidery. For the day, Ananya donned a black-hued two-piece with flap-detailing on the blouse. It had pink-toed floral detailing on the dress and blouse and had seamless golden threadwork on the garment.
Fashionista, Radhika Merchant was captured celebrating her friend's wedding to the fullest in the stunning showstopper lehenga from Rohit Bal’s last collection. In a clip from the wedding, the Ambani bride was seen performing with two other friends on the song Sajna Ve Sajna. Her proud in-laws, Mukesh and Nita Ambani, were also spotted in the crowd recording their daughter-in-law’s dance. Radhika donned Ananya Panday's showstopper outfit for the wedding festivities.
