Mahesh Bhatt Bats For Indo-Pak Cultural Ties, Girl Child

The filmmaker also recalled his 1997 film "Tamanna" which revolved around an orphan girl child and eunuch.

13-year-old Laxmi, one of the girls from Samarpan who walked the ramp said, "I am quite nervous as this is my first time walking the ramp. But this is a great experience for me. I want to become a model in the future."

"Everyone can't do things in a big way. Through this fashion show, we are in our own small way doing what we can to build bonds," Bhatt said.

Other participants at the fashion show included Umar Sayeed, Warda Saleem, Sania Maskatiya, Maheen Karim, Deepak Perwani and Faiza Samee along with a few budding designers.

Meanwhile, among the over 250 exhibitors at the lifestyle expo, top textile houses from Pakistan such as Bareeze, Chen One, Lala Textiles, Kayseria and Khaadi are set to showcase their wares.
