Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut made a dazzling return to the runway on Friday as the showstopper for jewellery brand Raabta by Rahul, unveiling their latest bridal collection titled “Saltanat.” The event, held in New Delhi, brought together the timeless elegance of traditional Indian craftsmanship with modern royal aesthetics – and Kangana’s presence perfectly captured that essence.
The designer duo Rahul and Vandana Popli, founders of Raabta by Rahul, are renowned for their intricate bridal jewellery that blends heritage motifs with contemporary sensibilities. With Saltanat, the label celebrates the splendour of Indian royalty through handcrafted pieces adorned with uncut diamonds, emeralds, pearls, and gold.
Taking to their official Instagram account, Raabta by Rahul shared a stunning video of Kangana walking the ramp, captioning her as their “muse” for the evening. The actress looked resplendent in an ivory embroidered saree paired with a heavy blouse and layered emerald-and-gold jewellery set, including statement earrings, a choker, and a maang tikka. Her look was completed with a traditional gajra bun, minimal makeup, and soft glamour – an ode to vintage Indian bridal charm.
This marks Kangana’s much-awaited return to the ramp after several years. Known for her fearless fashion choices and regal screen presence, she carried the ensemble with signature poise and confidence. Her appearance instantly became a highlight of the evening, drawing admiration from both the fashion fraternity and fans online.
The Saltanat collection, according to the brand, pays tribute to “the magnificence of royal India” – evoking the grandeur of old dynasties and the opulence of heirloom treasures. Each piece in the line embodies artisanal detailing meant for the modern bride who wishes to channel her inner queen.
On the professional front, Kangana Ranaut was last seen in Emergency, where she portrayed India’s former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. With her striking comeback to the fashion ramp, she has once again proven that her grace extends beyond cinema to the world of haute couture.
