MUMBAI - It was bonding time for the Khan family — stepmom Helen was so moved to see the three brothers, Salman, Arbaaz and Sohail, walk hand-in-hand on the ramp that she kissed their mom Salma on her forehead to cherish the moment of togetherness.
It happened during Salman’s “Being Human” show on the second day of the HDIL India Couture Week.
“It was spontaneous. I didn’t know what came to my mind at that moment. But it was a very proud moment for the family and just to share that moment of togetherness, I kissed Salma on her forehead,” Helen told IANS.
This was the first time that almost the whole Khan family had made a public appearance together. With Salma and Helen sitting next to each other and their daughter-in-law Malaika Arora Khan and daughter Arpita cheering for all of them in the audience, the family bonding was at its peak.
“Today we had everyone here except for my father. He couldn’t come but I am sure he is sitting somewhere and watching us. It is he who has guided me to take this path and come up with this fashion show,” said Salman.
“It is an incredible and memorable moment for me.”
At the end of the show, the three brothers persuaded Salma and Helen to walk the ramp with them.
With as many as 10 celebrities walking the ramp and many sitting in the audience to cheer for them, Bollywood came all out to support Salman’s charity.
The show saw the ramp debut of Aamir Khan and Ajay Devgn who looked a bit nervous, while Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Govinda, Sanjay Dutt, Katrina Kaif, Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan walked with poise.
Among the Bollywood stars cheering in the audience were choreographer-turned-director Farah Khan, Bollywood actors Preity Zinta, Sushmita Sen, Amisha Patel, Amrita Arora, Twinkle Khanna, Malaika Arora Khan, fashion designer Manish Malhotra, filmmaker Boney Kapoor with his wife Sridevi and two daughters, and cricketer Yuvraj Singh.
The clothes were designed by Rohit Gandhi-Rahul Khanna, Ashish Soni, Gavin Miguel and Rocky S, among others.
