Chitrangada Singh Channels Regal Grace on the Runway for Archana Kochhar

Where rhythm met runway and couture collided with culture, Bombay Times Fashion Week found its most magical moment in Archana Kochhar’s latest collection, presented by Aspect. The show opened with musical maestro Raghav Sachar serenading the runway, and reached its pinnacle with Chitrangada Singh gliding down the catwalk like poetry in motion. Dressed in a silhouette that shimmered with understated drama, Chitrangada brought the house down—not with noise, but with grace.

Archana Kochhar’s collection was more than just fashion—it was a symphony. Rich in heritage and craftsmanship, each look celebrated the confluence of tradition and modernity. There were silks that whispered stories, embroideries that echoed history, and cuts that danced between structure and softness. And then came Chitrangada, closing the show in an ensemble that seemed tailor-made not just for her, but for the very idea of timeless beauty.

This elegance was brought to life under the visionary leadership of Aksha Kamboj, Executive Chairperson of Aspect Global Ventures. With a commitment to bridging the worlds of legacy and innovation, Aspect’s collaboration with Archana Kochhar offered a luxurious ode to cultural identity, reimagined for the global stage. The evening was more than a show—it was a statement. One that said: tradition isn’t static, it evolves—and it shines.

Off the runway, Chitrangada Singh continues to command attention with a slate of powerful roles. Up next, she stars in Rupa, an Indo–Italian film expected to blend art-house aesthetics with emotional depth. She’s also filming the much-anticipated Raat Akeli Hai 2, returning to her noir roots, and will share the screen with Salman Khan in Battle of Galwan, a project already stirring buzz for its high-octane drama and political pulse.

Whether wrapped in sequins or scripts, Chitrangada is a woman in complete command of her craft. On the ramp, she enchants. On screen, she captivates. And in both, she reminds us—some stars don’t just rise, they resonate.
